It would be easy to do a posthumous hatchet job on Anthony Perkins, whose portrayal of psycho Norman Bates would unjustly eclipse four decades of other roles. Instead Charles Winecoff has chosen to tell Perkins' often lurid, always compelling story with taste and restraint -- but without pulling punches. The result: a rounded, respectful, meticulously researched account of a serious talent and tormented soul. Excellent work.
