What was the point in making you wait 15 minutes if the film had already started ?

The picture you MUST see from the beginning... Or not at all!... For no one will be seated after the start of... Alfred Hitchcock's greatest shocker Psycho.

 

* No One ... BUT NO ONE ... Will Be Admitted To The Theatre After The Start Of Each Performance Of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

 

They must have watered it down a bit at the Wicker. Couldn't afford to turn down any 2/9d paying customers.

Hi Jim Hardie - Beautiful Jim, to be able to find the actual wording from some archival source is amazing. But I agree they probably watered it down a bit to coincide with the iconic scene that comes up relatively early in the film. I'm sure the gimmick only lasted as long as it was pulling the crowds in. fleetwood

Remember going on a blind date to see Jailhouse Rock there. Blind date didn't work out.
