The Great Alfred Hitchcock.

Alfred Hitchcock was a British film director and producer. He has often been named 'The Master of Suspense', because of his amazing techniques using suspense to thrill the audience in his thriller films. Alfred Hitchcock also had a few principles that he would normally follow in his thriller films. One of these principles is that there would be a attractive, blonde female in his films. This principle was followed in; North By Northwest (1959), Psycho (1960), The Birds (1963) and more. Another principle that Hitchcock would regularly follow is that he would appear in his own film, even if it was for a second or so. This was an iconic feature that made Alfred Hitchcock's films so recognizable.



Alfred Hitchcock died at the age of 80, at this point he had already began writing a script for a new thriller film, which was published after his death. His death was a result of a renal failure, a medical condition where the kidneys fail due to waste products in the blood.
