Alfred Hitchcock is probably the most famous film director who ever lived. For five decades, first in England, then in Hollywood, he made 54 films, including classics such as The Thirty-Nine Steps, Rebecca, Notorious, Rear Window, North by Northwest, Vertigo, and Psycho. This presentation looks at his achievements as “the master of suspense,” and, through dozens of film clips, examines his extraordinary creativity as one of the twentieth century’s greatest filmmakers.
