“There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” Known as the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock spent his filmmaking career creating classic after classic, both redefining cinema and crashing the box office. With one foot on classicism and another on modernism, he continually challenged audiences with his thrilling films, while still filling seats in movie theaters. Never losing his humble yet confident gentlemanly manners, Alfred Hitchcock forged a legacy as iron-tight as his scripts.
