ALFRED HITCHCOCK DEATH CRACK
Hitchcock had his first real crack at directing a film, start to finish, in 1923 when he was hired to direct the film Number 13 (1922), though the production wasn't completed due to the studio's closure (he later remade it as a sound film). It was only after the director for Завжди розповідай про все своїй дружині (1923) fell ill and Hitchcock was named director to complete the film that he and Reville began to collaborate. It was there that he met Alma Reville, though they never really spoke to each other. He started off drawing the sets (he was a very skilled artist). It was around 1920 when Hitchcock joined the film industry. His interest in movies began at around this time, frequently visiting the cinema and reading US trade journals. His first job outside of the family business was in 1915 as an estimator for the Henley Telegraph and Cable Company.
Raised as a strict Catholic and attending Saint Ignatius College, a school run by Jesuits, Hitch had very much of a regular upbringing. He had two older siblings, William Hitchcock (born 1890) and Eileen Hitchcock (born 1892). His parents were both of half English and half Irish ancestry.
He was the son of Emma Jane (Whelan 1863 - 1942) and East End greengrocer William Hitchcock (1862 - 1914). Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was born in Leytonstone, Essex, England.
