Andrea, indeed he was a character. Did you ever watch his TV show? He had a unique way of speaking. What a character! He and his films are still studied extensively by film students and experts today. Smiles!!

A very nice tribute to the 'Master of Suspense ... 'Psycho' is one of my favorite movies. His cameo was not so easy to spot in that one. I believe he was standing outside the office window where Marion worked... By the way, his daughter, Pat Hitchcock, played the other secretary in the office!

did you ever see that movie. It's a classic. Then Bates Motel series was made about it years later, really good. It starred the guy that plays the autisic doctor in Good Doctor.

I looked it up. As I suspected AH not only directed his movies but wrote many, including The Birds and Rear Window

I think you used to comment on my poetry when I was just starting out as a teenager. Your name seems very familiar to me. On a side note, who doesn't love a Hitchcock movie?!

I would not have a clue how to write like Hitchcock. Didn't he use stories for TV that were written by different authors?

I have always loved the movies directed by Hitchcock. I think I've seen them all. Yesterday I saw The Birds. I would agree about Psycho. Great film.
