Sir
Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, KBE (13 August 1899 29 April
1980) was an iconic and highly influential British filmmaker and
producer, who pioneered many techniques in the suspense and psychological
thriller genres. After a very substantial career in his native United
Kingdom in both silent films and talkies, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood
and, in 1956, became an American citizen, also retaining his British
citizenship. Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films, in
a career spanning six decades, from the silent era, through the
invention of sound films, and far into the color era. As a director,
he was among the most consistently recognizable by the general public,
and was one of the most successful of his era. He continues to be
one of the best-known and most popular filmmakers of all time.
