<P> Psycho is a prime example of the type of film that appeared in the United States during the 1960s after the erosion of the Production Code . It was unprecedented in its depiction of sexuality and violence, right from the opening scene in which Sam and Marion are shown as lovers sharing the same bed, with Marion in a bra . In the Production Code standards of that time, unmarried couples shown in the same bed would be taboo . </P> <P> Another controversial issue was the gender bending element . Perkins, who was allegedly a homosexual, and Hitchcock, who previously made the LGBT film Rope, were both experienced in the film's transgressive subject matter . The viewer is unaware of the gender dysphoria until, at the end of the movie, it is revealed that Bates is a crossdresser in the attempted murder of Sam . At the station, Sam asks why was Bates dressed that way . The police officer, ignorant of Bates' split personality, bluntly utters that Bates is a transvestite . The psychiatrist corrects him and says, "Not exactly". He explains that Bates believes that he is his own mother when he dresses in her clothes . </P> <P> According to the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, the censors in charge of enforcing the Production Code wrangled with Hitchcock because some of them insisted they could see one of Leigh's breasts . Hitchcock held onto the print for several days, left it untouched, and resubmitted it for approval . Each of the censors reversed their positions: those who had previously seen the breast now did not, and those who had not, now did . They passed the film after the director removed one shot that showed the buttocks of Leigh's stand - in . The board was also upset by the racy opening, so Hitchcock said that if they let him keep the shower scene he would re-shoot the opening with them on the set . Since they did not show up for the re-shoot, the opening stayed . </P> <P> Another cause of concern for the censors was that Marion was shown flushing a toilet, with its contents (torn - up note paper) fully visible . No flushing toilet had appeared in mainstream film and television in the United States at that time . </P>
