Scene That I Love: Janet Leigh and Pat Hitchcock in Psycho

Posted on July 7, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Yesterday was Janet Leigh’s birthday and today is Pat Hitchcock’s birthday so it seems appropriate that today’s scene that I love should feature both of them. From 1960’s Psycho, this scene features Leigh and Hitchcock as office co-workers who meet the very wealthy Mr. Lowry (played by Frank Albertson).

“He was flirting with you. He must have seen my wedding ring,” remains one of the greatest lines ever written.

Scenes I Love: Marion Meets The Patrolman in Psycho

Posted on January 11, 2025 by Lisa Marie Bowman

116 years ago, an actor named Mort Mills was born.

Mort Mills may have never been a household name but he will be forever remembered for playing the suspicious highway patrolman in 1960’s Psycho. Anyone was have ever had to deal with a grim-faced, flat-voiced highway patrolman will automatically be able to relate to Janet Leigh’s fear in today’s scene that I love. I’ve watched this film numerous times and I still don’t know if the patrolman was just doing his job or if he really was suspicious of Marion. Mort Mills, with those dark glasses and flat affect, keeps you guessing. In this brief role, Mills makes an impression that will never be forgotten.
