Internationally, Hitchcock was forced to make minor changes to the film, mostly to the shower scene. In Britain, the BBFC requested cuts to stabbing sounds and visible nude shots, and in New Zealand the shot of Norman washing blood from his hands was objected to. In Singapore, though the shower scene was left untouched, the murder of Arbogast, and a shot of Norman's mother's corpse were removed. In Ireland, the censor Gerry O'Hara banned it upon his initial viewing in 1960. The next year, a highly edited version missing some 47-feet of film was submitted to the Irish censor. O'Hara ultimately requested that an additional seven cuts be made: the line where Marion tells Sam to put his shoes on (which implied that he earlier had his trousers off), two shots of Norman spying on Marion through the key-hole, Marion's undressing, the shots of Marion's blood flowing down the shower, the shots of Norman washing his hands when blood is visible, incidents of multiple stabbings ("One stab is surely enough," wrote O'Hara), the words "in bed" from the Sheriff's wife's line "Norman found them dead together in bed," and Abogast's questions to Norman about whether he spent the night with Marion.
