English Film director
Born: August 13, 1899
Died: April 29, 1980

Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1988) was a renowned British film director and producer, often referred to as the “Master of Suspense.” Born in London, he began his career in the silent film era and gained international fame for his distinctive style and innovative filmmaking techniques. Hitchcock’s works are characterized by their suspenseful plots, meticulous attention to detail, and dark psychological themes.

Alfred Hitchcock’s impact on cinema remains significant, as his works continue to captivate and intrigue audiences worldwide.

Alfred Hitchcock’s 5 most popular quotes

• Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn’t change people’s habits. It just kept them inside the house.
• People don’t always express their inner thoughts to one another; a conversation may be quite trivial, but often the eyes will reveal what a person really thinks or feels.
• Making a film means, first of all, to tell a story. That story can be an improbable one, but it should never be banal. It must be dramatic and human. What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out?
• When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.
• Drama is life with the dull bits left out. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. I believe in putting the horror in the minds of the audience, and not necessarily on the screen. The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.
