Mr. Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980), the undisputed 'Master of Suspense', worked in silent cinema before becoming a giant of modern film. Almost from the start, this son of a London greengrocer was an amazingly modern film-maker with a singular grasp of the technology, and an affinity with the stars. From "The Birds to Vertigo", Hitchcock's own psychological, religious and sexual complexities recur as a fascinating subtext to his dazzling film-making.
