I Reles (Peter Falk) joins the organization. Falk is built like a gorilla, retains little human | feeling and is an expert at "handling iron." A young man (Stuart Whitman), who owes Falk money, is persuaded to be his driver on the various "contracts" Falk fulfills for Lepke. < Whitman is weak rather than brutal, a fact which proves fatal to his pretty wife, May Britt. Even when Falk attacks May, Whitman < can't do much about it. He gets deeper and deeper into the business. Falk sets the couple up in an apartment and, when the heat's on, Lepke moves in, using May as his cook. A new Assistant DA. (Henry Morgan) finally , comes along to clean up Murder, Inc. — a simple matter of catching Falk and making him ''sing." — 20th-Fox. PSYCHO Hitchcock's latest Anthony Perkins Janet Leigh Vera Miles John Gavin Martin Balsam ■ Janet Leigh, of all people, steals forty thousand dollars from her trusting employer and leaves town. She's rushing to her boyfriend (John Gavin) who, only yesterday, couldn't afford to marry her. To refresh herself (she's under quite a strain) she stops at a deserted motel. As young proprietor Anthony Perkins informs her — 12 rooms, 12 vacancies. Never mind, she just wants to sleep. Let me bring you a sandwich, he says. Certainly, she says. He goes up the hill apiece to where he lives with his old mother and Janet hears a loud argument. About her, of course. Mom apparently hates girls (dirty, scheming, contemptible creatures). Tony returns with a tray and he and Janet have a heart-to-heart talk in a room tilled with stuffed birds. A boy's best friend is his mother, Tony says, in defense of her. A little mad, a little old-fashioned — well, maybe. If Janet weren't under such a strain she might have left the motel right then. Too bad she didn't. Whatever happens to her, and to the private investigator sent to find her? John Gavin and Janet's sister (Vera Miles) pursue this question to its startling conclusion. One scene is just a little too violent for my taste; the rest, forgive me, Hitchcock fans, doesn't seem a very palatable subject for what is essentially, a thriller. — Paramount. Stealing that money is the beginning of Janet Leigh's troubles in Psycho. {Continued on page 8) Only 20 minutes more than last night's pin-up . . . wake up with a permanent/.
