Here are some more information for Film Body:

In the 50 years since the film, Psycho has been released it has become on of the most popular and iconic films of all time. The infamous "shower scene" is probably the most recognizable and well known scene in film history. Even those of us who haven't seen the movie can recall the music, the rapid cuts that all made this scene feel so real. There was no nudity and tame violence by today's standards but it really did the illusion of these elements. There has been a lot of secrecy surrounding this particular scene of the film and the whole film in general really.

Supposedly Hitchcock instructed the theaters not to admit anyone after the film had started. He wanted everyone in their seats and watching once the lights dimmed to add to the cinematic experience. Hitchcock also bought up all of the copies of the original novel that the film is based to prevent anyone from learning how the story ended and did not grant the press advanced screenings. But it isn't the twist ending that lead to most of the films controversy. It was the famous shower scene. The rapid cutting and iconic music really made the audience think that the star Janet Leigh was actually in the shower being stabbed. The actress herself even stated how real the whole thing felt whilst filming it.

After the films release both Hitchcock and Janet Leigh maintained that it really was the actress filming the scene, but in reality it wasn't. There was a body double used for the scene. Every time you see Leigh's body but not her face, it was the double. The body was that of model Marli Renfro who was only in one other film after this.

The story gets stranger in 2001 when a 34 year old man was sentenced for murdering her in 1988. Upon investigation the report claimed that the man had killed two women, one being an actress named Marli Renfro whose real name was Myra Davis. Further investigation revealed that Marli Renfro and Myra Davis were two different people. Renfro was Janet Leigh's body double and Davis was Janet Leigh's stand in. Marli Renfro wasn't dead at all, the reports had wrongly reported the body double had been murdered when it was the stand in. The man who killed Myra Davis was so obsessed with that scene and wanted to kill Leigh's body double but because of the confusion and secrecy around the scene, mistakenly killed the wrong person. It is sort of fitting that this iconic, frightening scene has such a macabre true story behind it.

Janet Leigh used to claim how embarrassed she was to shoot the scene and Hitchcock even propagated the lie for her. Supposedly, Janet Leigh was so distraught over people asking her about this one scene that it fueled her drinking habit and ruined her marriage. Had the two been more forthright about the truth of the scene perhaps there would be less of a fascination with it.

French Film Soars at Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival is over for another year. The votes have been tallied, the red carpet was rolled up, and the world's beautiful people have gone back to looking like the rest of us, or so we can dream. The 61st annual festival drew the eyes of the film industry and movie buffs alike across the pond to France, if only for 10 short days.

At the top of this year's festival was the French film entitled "The Class," a real-life depiction of life at a junior high school. It took home the Palme D'or, the festival's biggest award.

It was the first French film to win the big prize since "Under Satan's Sun" won the prize in 1987. All of the festival's winners were selected by jury president Sean Penn and a nine-member jury including such Hollywood power players as Natalie Portman, all of whom voted for "The Class" to take home the Palme. The film was touted for its relevant social commentary and unconventional style.

Some other highlights of the prizes awarded include:

* Italian films by Matteo Garrone ("Gomorra") and Paolo Sorrentino ("Il Divo") took home the second- and third-place prizes.

* Benicio Del Toro took home best-actor honors for his role in "Che," Steven Soderbergh's epic about Che Guevara.

* Best actress accolades went to Sandra Corveloni for her role in "Linha de Passe," a film in which she plays a mother of four struggling to make ends meet in a Brazilian slum.

* Best director went to Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylon for the film "Three Monkeys," which is the story of a father who takes the fall for his employer's crime in order for financial security for his wife and son.

* Former two-time Palme D'or winners Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne received the screenplay prize for their film "Lorna's Silence," about an immigrant woman who gets married only to gain Belgian citizenship.

* British filmmaker Steve McQueen won the first-time director prize for his film "Hunger," a piece set in a prison in Northern Ireland where an IRA volunteer leads a hunger strike.

Another jury, the International Federation of Film Critics, awarded a special prize to film legend Clint Eastwood, who directed the competition film "The Exchange," starring Angelina Jolie. Eastwood has never taken home top honors at the festival despite having made five appearances since 1985.

A film from Kazakhstan entitled "Tulpan" won a lesser competition called "Un Certain Regard." "Tulpan" is a film about a shepherd who must wed before he can enter his trade, but his only prospect for marriage refuses him because of his large ears!

Other runner-up jury awards went to Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Tokyo Sonata," James Toback's documentary "Tyson," German director Andreas Dresen's "Cloud 9" and Jean-Stephane Sauvaire's "Johnny Mad Dog," about child soldiers in Africa.

In general, the festival judges found this year's films to be somewhat lacking, especially in comparison to last year's blockbuster hits like Joe and Ethan Coen's "No Country for Old Men," which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, proving that it attracted fans of both mainstream and unconventional films.

The festival closed out with the premiere of Barry Levinson's "What Just Happened?" starring Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis and Sean Penn in a story about a has-been Hollywood producer who tries to revitalize his career while dealing with issues in his personal and professional lives.

With the Cannes Film Festival now wrapped up, Hollywood's eyes are now turning toward Venice, where many U.S. films are expected to elbow out the competition on the Lido.

Hollywood heavyweights like Brad Pitt, George Clooney and John Malkovich will likely be there in support of the Coen brothers' film "Burn After Reading," and the stars of the film "Body of Lies," Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe will also likely make an appearance. Kiera Knightly and Ralph Fiennes, stars of "The Duchess," are also expected to make an appearance.
