793 Words4 Pages

2. The film starts with Marion Crane engaging in an affair with a man called Sam Loomis. It appears as if Sam is paying off debt or having cash issues, and both Marion and Sam consider leaving Arizona together. This is where Marion goes to work and is given forty thousand dollars’ worth of money from the bank, however she chooses to take the cash and flee. She, at that point, drives for quite a while and happens to wind up at the Bates Motel, because of the terrible climate conditions.
