Alfred Hitchcock and his movies...

Hello again,

this is my site to honour Alfred Hitchcock and his movies.

It contains informations about Sir Alfred himself and his movies, but above all, it has a lot of scanned signatures of many of the more important performers in his movies.

ONLY his movies. It would be quite a task to collect the signatures of the performers who appeared in his TV-show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents..." over the years as well, as I was kindly reminded by a friend (thanks Martin, I wouldn´t have thought about that!).

Why Alfred Hitchcock?

First of all, I like his movies very much. Then again, I like the movies of other directors as well - Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks and Frank Capra, for example. But they´re not British and wouldn´t fit to my website of "British autographs".

Secondly, Hitchcock was able to remain at the top (or close to) as long as no one else. He had his first successes in the last days of the silents and made his last movie almost exactly fifty years later. In the years between, his movies always found critical acclaim, and only few of them "flopped" at the box office. This endurance is unequalled in movie-history.

On this site, you find a short biography on Hitchcock and informations to all his movies which he directed. Where available, I have added scans of photos and signatures of the performers from my collection. Unfortunately, Hitchcock has worked with some stars whose signature is hard to come by, or at least for a reasonable price. Please be patient, maybe their autograph appears here later.
