Is it legal to watch Alfred Hitchcock films online for free?

A friend of mine and I want to have an Alfred Hitchcock film marathon. There are a number of Hitchcock films on Netflix which we intend to watch, but Psycho and Vertigo, the two I want to see most, aren’t. Is it legal to watch Alfred Hitchcock films online for free since they’re 60-80 years old and possibly public domain, or are they still copyrighted? Thanks

They’re still under copyright, since it lasts around 100+ years, so it wouldn’t be legal to watch them for free. Current copyright is the lifetime of the creator plus 90+ years – it might be 93 or 97 tears, I forget which, but Hitchcock is certainly not neat public domain yet.

Psycho: The Complete Original Motion Picture Score $11.89 Much has been made of composer Bernard Herrmann’s choice to use only razor-sharp, slashing strings for his score to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. And heaven knows it works like a dream (or a nightmare), the music feeling as edgy and colorless as the noir-ish black-and-white photography. But as noticeably effective as the knife-screeching violins are in the famous shower scene (followed by thos…
