Anthony Perkins & Janet Leigh On PSYCHO

[stripedshirts]

Tony looked fantastic here - how old was he then? he was the only male from amongst the Hitchcock men who did not go grey or white.

[xXsamiiiXx]

@stripedshirts if this tribute was in '79 he was 47 he still looked charming!

[listentome94]

@stripedshirts Uh, maybe because almost all the other Hitchcock actors were like 30 years older than Tony (except Sean Connery who was only 2 years older)

[mrlafayette1964]

Janet Leigh smoked ,that always ages someone.We all get older though,a little every day

[slangshotstudios]

Hitchcock was always so whimsical

[PhillipCreeper]

It is to the Academy Award's discredit that he never won an oscar for best director.

[loefly]

@PhillipCreeper

[KamasutraButterfly]

How old is Hitchcock here? And what year did he die?

[Gencturk92]

@KamasutraButterfly hitchcock died in 1980 and this is in 1979,

[DominoPetachi83]

Janet looks so old here.

[tarnsand]

@DominoPetachi83 Janet was 52 at this tribute in 1979. I think it is the 'bleach blonde seventies style' that you may find makes her look older. She was always very slim but still looked very pretty at 77 when she passed away. The stars of this era did not go 'industrial' on the plastic surgery so they still look or looked like themselves. Cheers:)

[locotaco10]

@tarnsand I watched the A&E biography documentary of Ms. Leigh and she had some very sad times in her life. Around the same time, her father committed suicide and her husband (Tony Curtis) dumped her for a 17 year old starlet. This must have caused a lot of stress which contributed to her aging quickly.

[listentome94]

@DominoPetachi83 yes she was several years older than him but the hair was horrible too, it made her look frumpy

[TheJBGAULIER]

Alfred hitchcock looks sleeping

[Da666ManIsBak]

Norman Bates = The Greatest Villain!

Marion Crane = The Victim To The Greatest Villain In A Very Memorable Scene!

Alfred Hitchcock = The Brain!

[Bestmanme08]

A study ("Mothers of male homosexuals") shows that gays and bi's have often a bad relationship with their mother! Find the study at google!

[JP5466]

Anyone know what year this was?

[SparkToPierceTheDark]

@JP5466 I wanted to know too! 1979, and here's the source afi.com/laa/laa79.aspx

[satchfan2010]

I wish Alfred Hitchcock would stop his incessant grinning, pointing and waving. He's normally so reserved.

[GrinningSoul24]

Anthony was so sexy and Janet was so gorgeous

[michael65]

I used to have this tribute on VHS back in the day. This is a beautiful looking print considering its age. Is it available to buy anywhere or download? Appreciate any info.

[safte4]

@andrew49848 lolwtfbbq?

[Muirmaiden]

@andrew49848 , he was bisexual, actually.

[pukeinjection]

"It's aonly a maovie" *Hitchcock is not amused*

[MJRookieRook]

Anthony Perkins still looked gooood ! Freakin' sexy ♥

[1woozoo]

Why? Oh why? Does that man look so stoned?

Seriously, he's getting an AFI...!

A great many normal people would show a smile once in a while.

[1974Coconut]

@1woozoo I can guarantee you, he's enjoying, it's just his humour, he's planning what funny to say. It's his humour to pretend he's not enjoying, or that he's angry, but it's just his humour.

[fliegeroh]

Hitch looked like he was hating every minute of this.

[Gencturk92]

@fliegeroh thats what i kept thinking but this was a year before hes death, he was an old man there.

Hitchcock for ever

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@weightfeather1 I agree.

[CoasterBoy567]

Hitchcock was awesome, but boy was he an ugly mother fucker.

Janet has such a sweet voice

[william2jack3]

Hitchcock did not look amused when Perkins imitated his voice.

[leafyutube]

They're pretty good friends considering he killed her in psycho.

[filmidioten]

How wonderful to see "Norman" and "Marion" kiss! :)

[AngelofAnguish]

Say what you want about Dracula, Creature From The Black Lagoon, the Mummy, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and other monster films released by Universal Pictures/Studios, but in my opinion, the horror genre, STARTED with Psycho. In fact, I've seen Psycho MORE TIMES than (the original) Halloween and the Shining.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@AngelofAnguish Psycho is a murder mystery..not a horror film.

[AngelofAnguish]

@TheForgottenFlesh Well, in my opinion, it's a horror film.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@AngelofAnguish But what you are claiming is Psycho started the horror genre...that's debatable since Horror ittself has many aspects. You can say it inspired a lot of slasher films and thrillers....but that would be about it. It's no better or worse than a film like James Whale's Frankenstein. To say a single film started the horror genre you would have to define exactly what horror is..which is impossible.

[SteveJ2008]

@TheForgottenFlesh Hitchcock always claimed he intended it as a comedy, though he probably was only half serious. In any event, it's generally regarded as a horror film in retrospect, partly due to the amount of horror films that were influenced by it over the years.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@SteveJ2008 it would really depend on what a person's deffinition of "Horror" is. is it blood and gore? Is it not showing anything? Is it a giant monster? is it a ghost story? It's impossible and purley subjective. I'm looking at it from a point of view of...a murder mystery. The only difference is we know who the murderer is....either Norman or his Mother.

[TheForgottenFlesh]

@TheForgottenFlesh The one major thing I hate about the film is the explaination. It would have been so much more errie if they left that sequence out...but as Hitchcock always said "American audiences want to be spoonfed...if they arn't they get angry."

[werobanks]

or, Norman's mother, or Norman

[GhostSnake]

The look on Hitch's face always makes laugh.

[goolagong68]

Perkins was brilliant in Murder on the Orient Express as the nervous neurotic Hector Macqueen, who was the Valet of the horrid Richard Widmark character...In fact he was never better in anything else

[yellolab09]

@goolagong68

Oops...well known fact, Anthony Perskins was Gay, so I think your story is odd.

[STONECOLD1987]

So wonderful, i just seen Psycho for the first time and loved it, a true classic. Both Anthony & Leigh look great wow after all these years

[fannyanne2]

janet leigh always look old

[bowler8]

Tony Perkins wife died in the September 11 tragedy...she was on board one of the plane that hit the world trade center tower, its ironic he should die September 12.... 10 years later.

[NielDaRebelde]

Hitchcock is cold as a dead Eskimo's pussy. The guy doesnt have emotions

[Tusc9969]

@NielDaRebelde Nothing wrong with sushi

[gauchatche]

Alfred Hitchcock was a brilliant director.

The suspense films of Hitchcock are immortal

[melikemusicalot]

janet leigh is hot.

[nadilizard]

but hitchcock what had done? he was so serious..

[moroccansunshine]

@nadilizard He was unwell :) but he enjoyed it I'm sure!

[oliviaisgod]

lol Hitchcock looks so Unimpressed

[katwoman72]

Please post the rest of this speech.

[Tusc9969]

Didn't perkins wife die on 9/11...? I think she was in one of the planes that hit the twin towers when she was on her way back home from visiting her husband's grave site!

[RaymondHng]

@Tusc9969 Berry Berenson, Perkin's wife from 1973 to his death in 1992, died at age 53 in the September 11, 2001 attacks aboard American Airlines Flight 11. She was returning to her California home following a holiday on Cape Cod.

[Tusc9969]

@RaymondHng Thanks for the info..I heard she had visited tony's grave the day before she was killed since he had died on sept 12... How tragic!

[RaymondHng]

@Tusc9969 Perkins died at age 60, on September 12, 1992, from complications of AIDS. He was cremated, and his ashes were given to his family.

What you heard contradicts this.

[Tusc9969]

@RaymondHng If what you say is a fact then I stand corrected. Thanks for the clear up! May they both rest in peace.

[Anything2DoWithFilm]

alfred hitchcock - genius, but what a miserable bastard.

[Anything2DoWithFilm]

alfred hitchcock - genius, but what a miserable bastard.

[BrittMonkey]

In every one of these clips, Hitch looks bored out of his britches.

[predlycon]

1:47 - michael caine

[PureSoapCleans]

Was Kim Novak there?

[listentome94]

no kim was not there

[dimataga94]

aww this is priceless, tony perkins is such an amazing guy god bless his soul, and luv the little kiss he gives her as he walks to the other side of the stage lol

[teuffeu]

[sexxysara88]

Janet Leigh was only 5 years older than him....but she looked older

[tgerber04]

I can't believe how youthful Tony Perkins looks for his age! He was one of those people who could grow old gracefully. . . .

[dannybex]

what's the point of showing only half a speech???

[alfredo0025]

very agree with tuscatom.......many of the great left us

great remember

[tuscatom]

Gosh, when you see clips like this, which don't seem very long ago, you take note of how many of the greats have left us.

[TheCooper2004]

I agree, tuscatom. They don't make them like they used to (both the stars and the movies). Sure there are some excellent stars and movies today, but not in the abundance of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Please remember - if you don't like my comments - WE SHOULD AGREE TO DISAGREE!!

[Travisevian]

Love this. Anthony was so handsome and had such wit and I love Janet Leigh's voice.
