Brian
de Palma continues to work through his Hitchcock
obsession with a stylish and nasty revamping of Psycho,
set in New York.
The office of shrink Dr Robert Elliott (Michael
Caine) is the basement at 162
East 70th Street near Lexington Avenue on
the East Side.
Heís supposed to do some work at the Bellevue Hospital
on First Avenue (where Ray
Milland suffered DTs in Billy
Wilder's The
Lost Weekend, but the interior of the institution
we actually see is the Tweed
Courthouse, 52 Chambers Street in the Civic
Center.
And the art gallery where Kate Miller (Angie
Dickinson) picks up a bit of rough trade before
the filmís most contentious sequence, isnít all it seems.
