Straight from the vaults of the legendary Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, RKO, Warner, Turner Classic Movies, Universal and Paramount Studios, A Symphonic Night at the Movies features dazzling new 35mm prints of some of the best-loved film scenes of all time - accompanied by a live symphony orchestra performing the music of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
The collaboration between director Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann resulted in a series of unforgettable films — the pinnacle of which is the most terrifying and powerful movie score of all time - Psycho.
Bernard Herrmann was lured to Hollywood in his late 20s, where he began his immensely successful career as a film composer. In 1941, at age 30, he won an Academy Award for his film score for The Devil and Daniel Webster.
Herrmann’s long association with director Alfred Hitchcock includes music for the films Psycho, North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much and Vertigo. He also wrote the background music for several TV shows including The Twilight Zone and Have Gun, Will Travel.
Hitchcock’s Psycho was released by Paramount Pictures in 1960. Based on a novel by Robert Bloch, Psycho is an American classic film which set new standards in the film genre known as a ‘psychodrama’. The film actors include Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin and Janet Leigh, each playing an iconic role. Herrmann’s evocative music sets the lurid tone essential to the drama on screen.
