In a career spanning more than 50 years, Alfred Hitchcock kept us in suspense through films that include clever plotting, superb wit, and brilliant camerawork. This talk covers the master’s career starting at the silent film era; masterpieces of British films in the 1930s; and a Hollywood career that included an attempted assassination in Albert Hall, a chase across Mount Rushmore, a mysterious murder of crows, and visits to the Bates Motel.
