Starring Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, John McIntire Ted Knight, Vaughn Taylor, John Anderson, and Simon Oakland. A Phoenix secretary is fed up with the way life has treated her. She meets her lover for lunch breaks and they cannot get married because he has to give most of his money away in alimony. One Friday afternoon, she is trusted to bank $40,000 by her employer. Instead she takes the money and leaves town, heading for her lover's store in California. Tired after the long drive and caught in a storm, she gets off the main highway and pulls into the Bates Motel, managed by a quiet young man named Norman who seems to be dominated by his mother.
