14:45. Thriller, horror, crime. USA 1960, 109 min. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam. In English with Russian subtitles. A secretary named Marion Crane, upset that her lover refuses to make their relationship official, steals a large amount of money at work and rushes away from the city. She stays the night in a secluded motel run by a nice young man named Norman Bates, and this cut-and-dry crime story with a chase turns straight into a bloody and unpredictable horror that violated all the laws of the genre at that time while establishing new ones as it went. One of Hitchcock's greatest masterpieces, this exemplary psychological thriller—which turns 60 this year—is coming to the big screen again.
