Hitchcock

Hitchcock (2012) starring Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Toni Collette, Danny Huston. Hopkins portrays legendary movie director Alfred Hitchcock, and Mirren plays his wife, Alma. This film is about their relationship, while at the same time showing glimpses into the making of Hitchcock's movie Psycho, which was released in 1960. As portrayed here, Hitch and Alma had a symbiotic relationship, and Alma played an equal-partner role in the making of his films. Meanwhile, it's fun to see Johansson's take on Janet Leigh, which it seems to me she did a pretty good job of portraying. This is not a great movie, but it's an entertaining diversion for an evening. I got the Blu-Ray copy from my library, and the Extras are copious. (English subtitles are available for the hearing-impaired.) Grade: B+
