Opis:

Poster for the American theatrical release of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho reminding the audience of its "no late admissions" policy for screenings, which was highly unusual for the time. Hitchcock stands at left, pointing at his wristwatch and sternly gazing at the viewer. The message reads:

It Is Required That You See Psycho From the Very Beginning!

The next showing of Psycho begins at... [empty box for inclusion of showtime]

The manager of this theatre has been instructed, at the risk of his life, not to admit to the theatre any persons after the picture starts.

Any spurious attempts to enter by side doors, fire escapes or ventilating shafts will be met by force.

The entire objective of this extraordinary policy, of course, is to help you enjoy Psycho more.

— Alfred Hitchcock [signature]
