Desta forma, Travers viaja até os Estados Unidos e passa a trabalhar juntamente com a equipe escolhida por Walt Disney para que Mary Poppins possa chegar às telas.

Baseado no livro "Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho", este filme revela os bastidores do clássico Psicose (1960). Na época, mesmo estando no auge de sua carreira, Hitchcock não conseguiu apoio para realizar a obra, porque os estúdios não queriam investir em um pequeno filme de terror. O resultado foi uma produção independente, que encontrou dificuldades para driblar a censura e para ser distribuída nos EUA, em função das cenas de violência e nudez. Além disso, durante as filmagens, ocorreram brigas entre Hitchcock e sua esposa, Alma (Helen Mirren), os problemas de saúde do diretor e desentendimentos com o elenco. Mas contrariando todas as expectativas, "Psicose" se tornou uma referência no cinema mundial e um dos maiores sucessos na carreira do cineasta.

Director Alfred Hitchcock is revered as one of the greatest creative minds in the history of cinema. Known for his psychological thrillers, Hitchcock’s leading ladies were cool, beautiful and preferably blonde. One such actress was Tippi Hedren, an unknown fashion model given her big break when Hitchcock’s wife saw her on a TV commercial. Brought to Universal Studios, Hedren was shocked when the director, at the peak of his career, quickly cast her to star in his next feature, 1963’s The Birds.
