Alfred Hitchcock
Definition
- British film director Born in London, England, Alfred Joseph Hitchcock claimed not to have had aspirations of becoming a film director. Yet, by the end of his life he had become a critically and commercially successful director, a familiar name, face, and profile, and he did it primarily by making suspense-laden thrillers, a genre not commonly associated with artistic innovation.
