Life altering for Alfred

When Alfred Hitchcock was five, his father sent him to a police station with a note. The policeman read the note and locked him in jail for few minutes, saying “this is what we do to naughty boys”. This experience left him with lifelong fear of policemen.

He is one of the most influential and extensively studied filmmakers in the history of cinema. His films garnered 46 Oscar nominations and six wins.
