Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock's talent as both filmmaker and storyteller is abundantly evident in a film catalog that includes Dial M for Murder, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds.
Alfred Hitchcock’s famous trademark cameo appearances began in his 1927 film, The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog. This suspenseful work, which is often regarded by both the director and film scholars as his first "real" project, established the themes of wrongful accusation and encroaching menace that would define much of his later career.1
