The film has been out for almost two full decadees. Here’s a tip: don’t click on analyses (not the same as reviews) of movies you haven’t seen yet and still want to.

Do we also still have to conceal who Norman Bates’s mother is, that Harry Lime wasn’t really hit by a speeding truck, what happens to Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara’s daughter, and that Peter Lorre is the child-killer?

Spoiler alert: Hamlet doesn’t make it, and neither does Gilgamesh.
