10 Things You Didn't Know About Alfred Hitchcock

Born on August 13, 1899, Alfred Hitchcock's illustrious career spanned over half a century and fifty feature films, including classics such as Rebecca, Rear Window, Vertigo, and Psycho. Here are ten facts that you probably didn't know about one of the most influential figures in cinematic history.

His first work was a disaster.

Hitchcock's first directorial effort, the 1922 film Number 13, was an abject failure.

Today, surviving footage of Number 13 is highly sought after. (credit: Gainsborough Pictures)

Alfred Hitchcock was the best director of his day. All his movies kept you on the edge of your seat. He did 40 years ago what new directors try to do with insane budgets and all the special effects.Think what he could have done with all that at his disposal.I still love to watch his movies.
