I was today years old when I found out that the actor who played Mr. Cassidy in Psycho (the guy with the 40K) also played Sam Wainwright in It's a Wonderful Life.

“Psycho” 1960 (rewatch)

-I had forgotten the throughly lived world of pre Norman Bates section of this film

+how hungry and desperate for love Marion Crane and Sam Loomis are

-I particularly like the line from the rich Texan character about giving money to his daughter (that Marion later steals)

-“It’s not that I’m buying happiness. It’s that I’m buying off unhappiness!”

-Truly outstanding

+it’s the demented David Lynch character like way he says it that really underscores it.

-How funny is it that all this effort was to have Marion get with Loomis, and the resulting investigation gets her sister Lila to marry him (in the film sequel)

-Anthony Perkins is riveting in the parlor scene, the little tics and laughter he gives to “everyone has their own little trap they want to escape”.

-It sucks that he got typecasted like this, but, like Bela Lugosi and a few others, he will be remembered for eternity for this role. He just inhabits the skin of this character.

-You watch him and you go “that is the joy an actor brings to a role”

-What was it like to go into this film raw when first released? It is so excellently paced in how it parses information and infers a path only to twist the knife.

+by my count at least five paths are teased then dashed away (including meeting the mother and the secrets). No wonder it became so beloved

-My personal second favorite performance of the film is the delightful Martin Balsam as the oily charming private investigator Arbogast.

-It occurs to me that this is the film that put the cliche of “why doesn’t this filmmaker go back to basics after those expensive films and do a well executed low budget?”

(The only one to really follow up on this is M. Night Shyamalan, who flushed away the taste of “Last Airbender”with some of his best work starting with “The Visitor”)

-When does five minutes feel like twenty? When this doctor spells everything out for us at the end. Possibly just to raise the gist of transvestism and then dash it away.

-Not that any serious motion picture enthusiast expects a perfect film, but here is definitive proof that a great riptide of a film can have a truly pointless scene and still knock it out of the park.

-Bernard Herrmann’s score still smokes. The silence adds to his through the window intrusions.

-Somehow a film that informs you to do your best work but also entertains no matter how many times seen. A rare delicious unicorn

ok so we all agree he basically said “may i give you $40,000 in undeclared cash i’m just a silly little guy” right????

Y-you.. you shouldn’t have kissed me. I just couldn’t help it. I have never done anything like that before. But I’ll forgive you ‘cause you were so nice to Sasha.

Man-Made Monster (The Atomic Monster, 1941)

"Sometimes I think you're mad."

"I am! So was Archimedes, Galileo, Newton, Pasteur, Lister, and all the others who dared to dream. Fifty years ago, a man was mad to think of anaesthesia; forty years ago, the idea of operating on the brain was madness. Today, we hold a human heart in our hands and watch it beat. Who can tell what tomorrow's madness may be?"
