A very famous 45 seconds took seven days to create and 14 strokes were removed from it to leave three. What is it and how did Americans accept a change to it that hadn't been made?

I think this might be the shower scene from "Psycho," but I'm not finding a good site. I'll keep looking. Jun 21 05, 5:00 PM

A very good stab. Now to find a source (and I don't mean sauce as in chocolate). Jun 21 05, 5:03 PM

The best I can do on the change "that hadn't been made" is the fact that censors were apparently convinced that Janet Leigh's nipple could be seen at one point. The film was sent back for re-editing, Hitchcock did nothing, and the scene was passed anyway. Evidently, the censors believed that the offending split second had been removed. This is a list of "Psycho" trivia, which includes the chocolate sauce used simulate blood and the fact that Hitchcock attacked an innocent casaba melon in order to produce the sounds of a knife stabbing flesh. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054215/trivia Jun 22 05, 9:59 AM

Yay, LF. That was the non-change I had in mind. So Janet spent only three weeks filming for "Psycho" and a third of that time was spent on the shower scene. And it was the first film to show a flushing loo. Isn't the IMDb handy? Jun 22 05, 12:06 PM
