This debate has been going on for years. Janet Leigh insisted Hitchcock directed the scene.

And I believe her. She's quoted in the article. The storyboards are interesting, too.

And it's notable how scrupulous Leigh has been over the years in recognizing the significance of, say, Robert Bloch's novel to the process...something which tends to make me like her more, as well as trust her honesty in such matters. Hitchcock was famously Very collaborative in some matters...see the testimony of Evan Hunter.

Hunter talked about his experiences with Hitchcock at the Bouchercon (I believe) in Nebraska. Very entertaining, as was his entire session.
