Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980) was an English film director and producer widely regarded as a master of suspense. His career spans British and American periods and includes landmark films such as Psycho, Rear Window, North by Northwest and The Birds.

Born 13 August 1899, died 29 April 1980. Regular collaborator with composer Bernard Herrmann (on several films) and cinematographer Robert Burks. Famous for brief on-screen cameos, television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and experiments in cinematic technique.

DeBaser reviews highlight Hitchcock's mastery of suspense, psychological themes, and formal experiments (long takes, single-room films). Critics repeatedly note voyeurism, macabre humour, and technical collaborations (Burks, Herrmann). The selection spans early British work to late American films and shows a broadly admiring tone.
