V. Let’s Talk
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent 1 people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.
Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense 2 in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension 3 around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor 4. Once at a French airport, a suspicious 5 customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?” “Gooseflesh.” replied Hitchcock.
Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he’d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.
