Fun Fact: For Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock was so pleased with the score written by Bernard Herrmann that he doubled the composer's salary

I once saw Mel Brooks talk about when Hitch invited him to dinner. He and Mel went to a very fancy restaurant and Hitch ordered them a very expensive dinner. They ate the first two courses in silence and before the entree came, Hitch stared at Mel for a time before saying in his classic deadpan voice "I saw "The Producers"... that the funniest god damn thing I've ever seen."

Psycho directed by him is way ahead of its time for a horror film. Hitchcock’s legacy speaks for itself.

As someone who has watched all of his movies in his career, I’m at times sad that he never got an Oscar for his works! One of the best…

"I'm a master of suspense, so intense! No defense against Hitchcock once he presents!'

[williampetty]

I'm so glad that they did a video of one of my favorite directors. I love learning about new people that I have never heard of before, but it's always awesome to hear people talking about what you already know and love. Plus, I'm excited to see if I learn anything new from this video. Keep up the great work guys.

"The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture." -- Alfred Hitchcock

I read once that Raymond Burr (of Perry Mason and Rear Window fame) used to keep a cardboard cutout of Hitchcock in the window of his office at Universal Studios, and paid the tour guides to tell people "oh look, there's Alfred Hitchcock in Raymond Burr's rear window".

Imagine what Hitchcock could have done with 21st century CGI. Then again he may have held it in contempt.

I'm in my final year of college right now. As an elective, I took a film studies class that was also all Hitchcock. My professor, Dr. Jack Sullivan, is such a fan that he wrote and published a textbook that we were required to have for class. It's called "Hitchcock’s Music" and I'm sure you can guess from the title what it's about. He even met a few actors who worked with Hitchcock, including the late Farley Granger from "Strangers on a Train".

A must see If you visit Hollywood. Universal studios. Take the tour. The tram passes by the Psycho backlot set.

Where did the pictures of young Alfred come from?

Can we just accept Karl as the new host so he can stop saying he's the "interim host"? He's definitely done enough that he's not only earned the spot, but we already refer to him on these channels as the fact fiend/goblin. He has the nickname, he's been hosting for months. I vote we swear him in as the Fact Boi replacement.

Thanks for the awesome video, love watching you on Biographics, nice change..keep up the awesome work ❤

[calculatedrage]

If I can recall correctly hes the best mama Jamma ever stood behind a camera.

Paul Whitehouse once accepted a BAFTA with the word "Ta." Hitchcock would be proud.
If you want to cover a person with not a single vice, try Bob Ross, Mr Rodgers, or David Attenborough.
