Description

4 ESSENTIAL FILMS FROM THE MASTER OF SUSPENSE
Universally recognized as the Master of Suspense, the legendary Alfred Hitchcock directed some of cinema’s most thrilling and unforgettable classics. The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection features four iconic films from the acclaimed director’s illustrious career including Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho and The Birds in stunning 4K resolution. Starring Hollywood favourites such as James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Tippi Hedren, Kim Novak and Rod Taylor, this essential collection features hours of bonus features as well as the original uncut version of Psycho for the first time ever.
INCLUDES 2 VERSIONS OF PSYCHO
  • PSYCHO UNCUT: The extended version of the movie as seen in theaters in 1960 is exactly as intended by Alfred Hitchcock and now available with additional footage for the first time ever
  • PSYCHO: The most widely seen version of the movie was edited for content and subsequently used for TV broadcasts, theatrical re-releases and home entertainment over the last 60 years
PLUS HOURS OF BONUS FEATURES
 
No doubt they'll all receive the 4K treatment sooner or later... they love an excuse to milk fans by re-releasing his films over and over again.

The Birds I'm surprised at because apparently there was serious work to do on the optical effects to bring it up to scratch. The blu-ray wasn't exactly stellar so this one is a surprise to me.
 
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment UK (UPHE UK) has identified an issue with the home entertainment releases of Psycho - 60th Anniversary Edition and The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection, that specifically impacts copies of Psycho’s Blu-rayTM and 4K UHD versions made available on September 7, 2020. The initial run of the film’s Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs produced inadvertently omitted Psycho’s original 1960 mono track as previously promoted, due to a production error. Our goal is to always deliver the best possible product to its consumers. To that end, a replacement program is being established in the UK to ensure that those who have purchased this recent release of Psycho on Blu-ray or 4K UHD receive a corrected disc.
Please continue to stay safe and once again the level of support we have been receiving over the past few months has been amazing so thank you!
