Who is Alfred Hitchcock?

Born: 13 August 1899
Died: 29April 1980 (aged 80)
Alfred Hitchcock was known as the master of suspense. With over 50 films he was engraved with this name. 'Alfred Hitchcock was the master of suspense whose films came to be the bench mark for 'psychological' thrillers'. Although he was director he knew how to promote himself. Appearing in most of his films (Usually in the beginning before the main character is introduced) this was a way to get noticed and a way for the audience to spot him(Spot Hitchcock). One Film we watched and spotted him in was 'North by North-West'.
