I was looking for interesting facts of Alfred and I foud in this website, thefw/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-alfred-hitchcock/ , really odd things about him. 1. His only Academy Awards acceptance speech was just five words long 2. He was afraid of his own movies 3. He loved to pull cruel practical jokes 4.He delayed filming for ‘North By Northwest’ so he wouldn’t have to cast Jimmy Stewart 5.Hitchcock wanted Cary Grant to crawl into Abraham Lincoln’s nose in the famous climatic scene of ‘North By Northwest’ 6.He had to use a hidden camera to film some of Cary Grant’s United Nations scenes 7.He tried to buy every copy of the book based on ‘Psycho’ so no one would know how it ended 8. Anthony Perkins wasn’t actually in the famous shower scene in ‘Psycho’ 9. The conductor he hired for ‘The Birds’ never wrote any music for it 10. Five of his most famous films couldn’t be seen in theaters for almost 30 years On the web site each thing. I find really weird that he was afraid of his own movies, I have never heard of a thriller film director afraid of his own movies. I couldnt find the video interview where he says that so I cannot be sure if thats true. Or maybe he said that just to get more people watching his films. I also think its very funny that he tried to buy every copy of the book based on Psycho!! Hope you find this interesting.
