[Wasserman comes to Hitchcock with news after Paramount screens "Psycho"] Alfred Hitchcock:
Well, what's the verdict? Lew Wasserman:
Let's just say it was a four-letter review and it wasn't "good". Screw him! It's too late for Paramount to back out, no matter what Balaban says. You know, the other option is to recut it as a two-parter for the TV series. Because of the budget and the Hitchcock name, we stand a good chance of breaking even. Look, I made Jimmy Stewart a millionaire on "Winchester '73". And that was a dog. At least I could sit through your picture
