  • ... that although Alfred Hitchcock rejected James P. Cavanagh's script for Psycho it contained many elements used in the final film, including the iconic shower murder scene? Source: "Cavanagh's draft included many elements that wound up in the film - Marion's drive, her conversation with Norman, and much of the shower murder and cleanup - Hitchcock found it unacceptable." from: Smith III, Joseph W.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria on newness and length. Well sourced. Will AGF on the offline sources. Tone is neutral. Earwig's copyvio does not show any concerns. AGF on references from offline sources. Hook is interesting. QPQ done. Minor point - I have seen some reviewers emphasize the need for the hook to be used as closely as possible in the article. This article has the hook's contents in the biography and is sufficient to meet the need. I see no concerns. Marking this one as approved. Good to go.
