he started making films in England in the 1920's and then after making a name for himself moved to Hollywood in 1939 due to the 'technical superiority" in a Hollywood studio compared to a British one.
The 50's was seen to be Alfred's high point of his career. It was a period in which his art reached its full maturity with such superior thriller as Stangers on a Train (1951), Rear Window (1954), Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), and Psycho (1960).
Psycho is probably Hitchcock's most notorious film and is still terrifying after 40 plus years. Hitchcock's murder set-pieces are so potent, they can frighten even a viewer who has seen it before. It was nominated for four Oscars in 1961 and won two.
