Alfred Hitchcock was a man with vivid imagination, strong creative skills and a passion
for life. With his uniaxe 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!
