Alfred Hitchcock was an English film director and producer. The magazine MovieMaker has described him as the most influential filmmaker of all time, and he is widely regarded as one of cinema's most significant artists. Hitchcock was born on August 13, 1899 in Leytonstone, England. In 1920, he received a fulltime position at Islington Studios, designing the titles for silent movies. His rise from title designer to film director took five years. Hitchcock's first few films faced a string of bad luck. In 1926, Hitchcock's luck changed with his first thriller, The Lodger. The film, released in January 1927, was a major commercial and critical success in the United Kingdom.
After a successful career in British cinema in both silent films and early talkies, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood, where the suspense and the humor that had become Hitchcock's trademark in film continued to appear in his productions. Hitchcock's films during the 1940s were diverse and ranged from romantic comedy to courtroom drama, to dark and disturbing films. In the 1950s, he produced many successful movies, such as Stage Fright, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, and Vertigo.
Hitchcock died at age 80 in his Bel Air home of renal failure (肾衰竭) on April 29, 1980.
