One of cinema’s most innovative pioneers, Alfred Hitchcock was the unrivalled Master of suspense, fear, claustrophobia, and unexpected twists in the tail.
He directed more than fifty feature films in a career spanning six decades, and he is acknowledged among the most influential directors in cinematic history. Following a successful career in Britain, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood in 1939. His 1929 film, “Blackmail”, is acknowledged as the first British sound feature film, while “Rear Window” (1954), “Vertigo” (1958), “North by Northwest” (1959) and “Psycho” (1960) are among the greatest movies of all time.
This unique compilation features main title themes and signature music from twenty-five of his biggest movies, proceded by ‘Funeral March Of A Marionette’, the theme to his hugely-popular TV series, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” (CBS/NBC, 1955-65).
This is a truly unique compilation, a must-have for fans of the golden cinematic era.
