ALFRED HITCHCOCK THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB Alfred Hitchcock was an influential English film director, known as the "Master of Suspense". His career spanned six decades, during which he directed over 50 feature films. Hitchcock began in the film industry as a title card designer, and his directorial debut was in 1925 with The Pleasure Garden. His early thrillers, like The Lodger (1927), The 39 Steps (1935), and The Lady Vanishes (1938) gained him recognition. He moved to Hollywood in 1939, producing successful films such as Rebecca (1940). Hitchcock's style is characterized by suspense, visual storytelling, and recurring themes like mistaken identity and voyeurism. He was also known for his cameo appearances in his films and his TV series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Hitchcock never won an Academy Award for Best Director. CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: Alfred Hitchcock's father sent him to the local police station with a note when he was five, and the police locked him in a cell for a few minutes, which gave him a lifelong fear of law enforcement. He was so scared of the law that he refused to drive a car in case he got a parking ticket. Hitchcock was fascinated by maps and train timetables, and he could even recite all the stops on the Orient Express. Many of his films include rail or tram scenes, and he would whisper London tram route names based on the clapperboard numbers. Hitchcock worked as a technical clerk at the Henley Telegraph and Cable Company, and then in the advertising department, which he called his "first step toward cinema". He also enjoyed reading trade papers and watching films by Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and Buster Keaton.
