If you have a fashionable suntan, it doesn’t Alfred Hitchcock was a man with vivid

imagination, strong creative skills and a passion for life. With his unique style and God-gifted wit he

produced and directed some of the most thrilling films that had the audience almost swooning with

fright and falling off their seats with laughter. Alfred Hitchcock was greatly influenced by American

films and magazines. At the age of 20, he took up a job at the office of Paramount Studio, London.

Using imagination, talent and dedication, he made each of his endeavours a success. He took great

pleasure in working in the studio and often worked all seven days a week. He moved to the USA in

1939 and got his American citizenship in 1955. Here, he produced many more films and hosted a

weekly television show. No matter from where his ideas came, whether a magazine article, a mystery

novel or incident, his films had the typical "Hitchcock touch"-where the agony of suspense was

relieved by interludes of laughter! Hitchcock was knighted in 1980.
