Alfred Hitchcock was a man with a vivid imagination, strong creative skills,
and a passion for life. With his unique style and God-gifted wit he produced
and directed some of the most thrilling films that had the audience almost
swooning with fright and falling off their geats with laughter. Alfred Hitchcock
was greatly inftyenced by American films and magazines. At the age of 20, he
took up a job at the office of Paramount Studio, London. Using imagination,
talent and dedication, hb made each of his endeavours a success. He took
great pleasure in working in the studio and often worked all seven days a
week. He moved to the USA in 1939 and got his American citizenship in
1955. Here, he produced many morp films and hosted a weekly television
show. No matter from where his ideas came, whether a magazine article, a
mystery novelor an incident, his films had the typical"Hitchcocktouch"-where
the agony of suspense was relieved by interludes of laughter! Hitchcock was
knighted in 1980.
