Following the success of North by Northwest, director Alfred Hitchcock wants to make a smaller, riskier film based on a Wisconsin serial killer. The movie studio disagrees, forcing him to finance the production himself. His wife and collaborator also struggles to come on board, preferring to spend her spare time helping a friend with his script at a remote beach house. Hitchcock accuses her of having an affair, but she angrily refutes it and they reconcile to finish Psycho. Filled with tidbits of factual information that will interest mainly Hitchcock buffs, but it struggles to give any meaningful insight to the huge personality that was the man.
