Hitchcock Page #7

Synopsis: In 1959, Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma Reville, are at the top of their creative game as filmmakers amid disquieting insinuations about it being time to retire. To recapture his youth's artistic daring, Alfred decides his next film will adapt the lurid horror novel, Psycho (1960), over everyone's misgivings. Unfortunately, as Alfred self-finances and labors on this film, Alma finally loses patience with his roving eye and controlling habits with his actresses. When an ambitious friend lures her to collaborate on a work of their own, the resulting marital tension colors Alfred's work even as the novel's inspiration haunts his dreams.

Does this mean

I can take the weekend off now?

Yes, dear, and thank you so much.

Where's Alma?

Go on.

Alma, come here.

You know, darling, this could be

the biggest success of your career.

Our career.

You know, Alma...

I will never be able to find

a Hitchcock blonde...

as beautiful as you.

I've waited 30 years

to hear you say that.

And that, my dear,

is why they call me...

The Master of Suspense.

Psycho turned out to be

one of my greatest achievements.

And Alma and I got to keep the house...

and the swimming pool.

But you know what they say

in Hollywood.

"You're only as good

as your last picture."

So, if you'll excuse me,

I had better toddle away...

to begin the exhaustive search

for my next project.

Unfortunately, I find myself,

once again...

quite bereft of any inspiration.

However...

I do hope something comes along soon.

Good evening.
