| It's a film fun that I recommend. But I question the accuracy of two things in that wikipedia quote: 1. As far as I can tell, it was either not a financial success or at most an extremely modest one. The wikipedia page for Anthony Perkins from which you quoted offers no source for that statement. Based on the figures published at the time by Variety, I would think it did not recoup on its initial release. And I doubt that later revenue from television showings and video sales made a major difference, although I suppose over time the film might have just about recouped. 2. I would not consider it a neo-noir, and I was pretty surprised to see it described that way. In fairness, I am posting a link to an article on the Film Noir Foundation site in which a case is made that it is a noir. I find the case completely unconvincing. :) If you watch it sometime soon, let us know what you think: noir or not? |
