Twitching basket case & keen taxidermist Norman Bates is given lines like 'A boy's best friend is his mother' & 'Mother isn't herself tonight'. 'Mother' yells at Norman ''You put me in the fruit cellar. You think I'm fruity, do you?' (he does). A woman named Crane finds herself surrounded by stuffed birds. Hitchcock verging on Beckett, the doyen of dark humourists.
