Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1990) who, through a combination of timing, talent, genius, energy, and publicity, made the key transition from proper noun to adjective. It is a rare filmwatcher indeed who cannot define ""Hitchcockian."" As the director of such films as The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Thirty-Nine Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Jamaica Inn, Dial M for Murder, Psycho, North by Northwest, Vertigo, and The Birds, to name just a few, Hitchcock has become synonymous with both stylish, sophisticated suspense and mordant black comedy.
