History of Alfred Hitchcock


Alfred Joseph Hitchcock is an important/interesting person to research about because he has made many popular thrillers. He was born on August thirteen 1899 in Leytonstone, London. He was known as the master of suspense whose films became the benchmark of psychological thrillers. After having a successful career in Britain making silent movies and early talkies, he moved to America (Hollywood) in 1956. Hitchcock directed fifty two films in total however one of the films is lost. One of Hitchcock's sayings is "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it." Meaning the suspense is worse than the event itself.
