Due to Hitchcock's failing health the film was never made, but Freeman published the script after Hitchcock's death.
He had started to write a screenplay with Ernest Lehman called The Short Night but he fired Lehman and hired young writer David Freeman to rewrite the script. The first of the four is a film editor, the second is a scriptwriter, the third is the mother of my daughter Pat, and the fourth is as fine a cook as ever performed miracles in a domestic kitchen and their names are Alma Reville." By this time, he was ill with angina and his kidneys had already started to fail.
On March 7, 1979, Hitchcock was awarded the AFI Life Achievement Award, where he said: "I beg permission to mention by name only four people who have given me the most affection, appreciation, and encouragement, and constant collaboration. Hitchcock was a master of pure cinema who almost never failed to reconcile aesthetics with the demands of the box-office.ĭuring the making of Безумство (1972), Hitchcock's wife Alma suffered a paralyzing stroke which made her unable to walk very well. After Диверсант (1942), as his fame as a director grew, film companies began to refer to his films as 'Alfred Hitchcock's', for example Alfred Hitcock's Психо (1960), Alfred Hitchcock's Сімейна змова (1976), Alfred Hitchcock's Безумство (1972). Selznick had hired him to direct an adaptation of 'Daphne du Maurier''s Ребекка (1940). In 1940, the Hitchcock family moved to Hollywood, where the producer David O. His success followed when he made a number of films in Britain such as Дама зникає (1938) and Таверна «Ямайка» (1939), some of which also gained him fame in the USA. They had one child, Patricia Hitchcock who was born on July 7th, 1928. In the same year, on the 2nd of December, Hitchcock married Alma Reville. He directed Сад насолод (1925), a British/German production, which was very popular. Hitchcock had his first real crack at directing a film, start to finish, in 1923 when he was hired to direct the film Number 13 (1922), though the production wasn't completed due to the studio's closure (he later remade it as a sound film). It was only after the director for Завжди розповідай про все своїй дружині (1923) fell ill and Hitchcock was named director to complete the film that he and Reville began to collaborate. It was there that he met Alma Reville, though they never really spoke to each other. He started off drawing the sets (he was a very skilled artist). It was around 1920 when Hitchcock joined the film industry. His interest in movies began at around this time, frequently visiting the cinema and reading US trade journals.
His first job outside of the family business was in 1915 as an estimator for the Henley Telegraph and Cable Company. Raised as a strict Catholic and attending Saint Ignatius College, a school run by Jesuits, Hitch had very much of a regular upbringing. He had two older siblings, William Hitchcock (born 1890) and Eileen Hitchcock (born 1892). His parents were both of half English and half Irish ancestry. He was the son of Emma Jane (Whelan 1863 - 1942) and East End greengrocer William Hitchcock (1862 - 1914). Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was born in Leytonstone, Essex, England.
