	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Psycho (1960)
		Hitchcock's legendary horror film is unfortunately a lot less potent if you know the secret of Norman Bates.
		Nevertheless, it is a masterpiece for both the director and the genre and has spawned almost as much discussion among critics and viewers alike as greats such as Casablanca.
		During the film's initial release, Hitchcock made sure that all the theaters received strict instructions not to let anyone in after the film started rolling.

		The films themselves span the years from 1893, when the infant technology was still experimental and had yet to be formally introduced to the world, through the surprisingly-recent 1985.
		Several of the films are preserved from the only known surviving prints or, in the case of a few of these films, the only prints that were ever made.
		While all of the surviving films from cinema’s earliest years are unequal in their artistic value, every one of them are equally important in their historic and cultural importance.

		In this film, Hitchcock's gimmicky device, termed a MacGuffin (the thing or device that motivates the characters, or propels the plot and action), is the stolen $40,000 from the realtor's office.
		The film's screenplay by Joseph Stefano was adapted from a novel of the same name by author Robert Bloch.
		When the film was originally aired in theaters in mid-1960, Hitchcock insisted in a publicity gimmick (a la P.T. Barnum) that no one would be seated after the film had started - the decree was enforced by uniformed Pinkerton guards.

	Outpost.com \| Criterion (DVD)
		This ground-breaking film won a Special Jury Prize at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and established its director, Michelangelo Antonioni, as a major international talent.
		Catcalls greeted its Cannes Film Festival premiere, but filmmakers and critics recognized the artistic importance of Michelangelo Antonioni's experiments with psychologizing film narrative, and L'avventura (1960) was awarded a special Jury Prize.
		Abandoning the kind of cause-and-effect plot line that might be expected in a film about the search for a missing woman, Antonioni instead sought to examine the barren inner lives of the postwar rich; the "adventure" is in the encounters between characters as they attempt and fail to make emotional connections.

	Moderato Cantabile / 1960 / film review Peter Brook / Jeanne Moreau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It is a moving and eloquent study of the psychology of a bored, well-off housewife, trapped in a life of routine and predictability, whilst longing for some danger to give her life meaning.
		In the final moments of the film when the housewife’s fantasies are extinguished and that soul is wrenched asunder we are left gasping.
		The other striking thing about this film is the photography, which is impressive in its own right, but triumphs because it captures the mood of the subject so brilliantly.

	Fortunat / 1960 / film review / Bourvil / Alex Joffe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The film stars two of France’s acting legends, Michèle Morgan and Bourvil, both of whom are on fine form, with Bourvil in particular giving one of his most sympathetic and captivating screen performances.
		The cinematography (which alternates between the intensely sombre and the radiantly sunny) manages to evoke the period in which the film is set.
		As a result, the film is far less cosy and complacent than the more conventional studio-bound productions of the period, which in part explains why it still feels so fresh today.

		Les Bonnes femmes, Claude Chabrol’s next film was this distinctively New Wave satire, an uninhibited portrayal of human spite and self-destructive delusion.
		Although an entertaining film, it appears inconsequential alongside the more notable films which Chabrol made during this period.

		When it was initially released in 1960, it was a huge box office hit (there are stories of 3-mile long lines at drive-in entrances), and its popularity has not waned over the last four decades.
		Also, Janet Leigh is shown in her underwear on more than one occasion, and, during the famous shower scene, it's possible to see hints of flesh (most of which belong to a body double).
		In order to keep this crucial aspect of the film secret and intact when Psycho opened in 1960, there were no advance screenings and no one was admitted to a showing after the feature had started.

	The Rising Eyebrow :: Film :: 1960's
		It is a fair comment - I feel - to say that the 1960's was the British cinema hay-day with studios such as Rank and Hammer producing and distributing some wonderful classics including the Carry On's (unique!!) and The Devil Rides out, Dracula series, and Frankenstein series (amogst others).
		The fact that Peter Cushing and more recently Christopher Lee have starred in the Star Wars trilogy is a testament to this period of British acting class.
		His films during this time included 'Crossplot' and the Saint double episodes - including 'The Fiction Makers'.
