* LingerieScene: Marion is seen in her bra and half-slip when getting ready for bed, which was considered very risqué for the time. In a later scene, after she has decided to run away with her employer's money, she is shown in lingerie again when getting dressed. There is some colour symbolism as well: in the first scene her bra and slip are white, and in the second they are black.

* MaleGaze: The film's first half could be summed up as being about Marion's body; emphasizing her in lingerie (heavily used in posters and promotionals), inviting viewers to join Norman at peeping at her undressing, and gazing at her body from the moment Marion removes her robe and during the shower scene and as Norman removes her from the bathroom and dumps Marion into the car trunk. Even though, for the most part, viewers are denied seeing nudity or the knife violence done on her.

After the first of the aforementioned twists is revealed in the film's best-known and most referenced[=/=]parodied scene, ''Psycho'' switches gears to become something more along the lines of a combination [[MysteryFiction mystery]] and [[PsychologicalHorror psychological horror]] story, although still retaining a few noir elements. The rest of the movie follows the investigation into the events surrounding the first twist, initially by a private detective (Creator/MartinBalsam) hired to recover the money from Marion, then by her sister (Creator/VeraMiles) and lover (Creator/JohnGavin).
