Hitchcock

Behind every Psycho is a great woman.

A biographical drama exploring the creative ambition and marital strain behind Hitchcock's making of Psycho, centered on the complex dynamic between a domineering director and his supportive but conflicted wife.

Following his great success with "North by Northwest," director Alfred Hitchcock makes a daring choice for his next project: an adaptation of Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho." When the studio refuses to back the picture, Hitchcock decides to pay for it himself in exchange for a percentage of the profits. His wife, Alma Reville, has serious reservations about the film but supports him nonetheless. Still, the production strains the couple's marriage.
