The master of suspense.
The name Hitchcock means
'suspense' and 'horror'. He was the master. At a time when
people used to go to the cinema to see their favourite film
stars, they went to see Hitchcock films because of the
director.![Diccionario online](http://www.cuadernodeingles.com/cuaderno_mes/imagenes/diccionario.gif)
Alfred
Hitchcock was born in England in 1899. He was educated by
Jesuits, then went into the film business in 1920. His first
job was to do the lettering and design he backgrounds for
silent film titles.
His first important film
was made in Britain, in 1927 - a tale of murder and
suspense.
Because of a shortage of
extras, he also appeared in it himself.
In every film after that, a
brief glimpse of Hitchcock's plump figure was always one of
the sly jokes.
He went to Hollywood in
1939 and for the next 35 years made the films on which his
reputation rests.
Intellectual critics have
written many things about his 'Art'. But Hitchcock himself
was very unpretentious. He saw himself simply as a skilled
entertainer. He certainly was.
