Alfred Hitchcock was an English film producer and died in 1980, he made many different types of thrillers and loved the odd desirable blonde in his productions. Also he took the film scene of Hollywood by storm, and he eventually spent many great years there.
He is still considered on of the best:
Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films in a career spanning six decades. Often regarded as the greatest British film-maker he came first in a 2007 poll of film critics in Britain's Daily Telegraph which said: "Unquestionably the greatest film-maker to emerge from these islands, Hitchcock did more than any director to shape modern cinema, which would be utterly different without him. His flair was for narrative, cruelly withholding crucial information (from his characters and from us) and engaging the emotions of the audience like no one else."
