Hitchcock Presents

Fact of the Day #5!

Now... this might not be much of a surprise to most of you but Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho' was actually the first American film to show a toilet on screen. It's also the first American film to which the audience hears a toilet being flushed.

Did you know about this? Penny for your thoughts?

Yes. Oh how I remember my mother saying after she saw this movie that she couldn't believe a toilet was in the movie but actual flushing as well. Yep I was a little girl. Boy how times have changed huh?
