 Creator of the best detective in the history of cinema had a simple recipe for success: in the first stage must be an earthquake, and then, until the end, the voltage must increase. Fat, jovial, old man, in its every film. Alfred Hitchcock was a man , malicious, and sometimes even cruel. Fat, lonely boy was born on August 13, 1899 year as the third child of a shopkeeper in London's East End. Father's family were fishermen for generations, stubbornly faithful to Catholicism, family, mother - Irish laborers. Family business went well. Alfred was sent to the Jesuit College of them. St. Ignatius. Did not stand out like a special: fat, lonely boy, who smiled silently, as if to thereby weaken the clarity of his gaze. The free day went to the theater, but also in trials for the Old Bailey's Court, where he took notes. And the criminal museum, called the Black Museum at Scotland Yard. He was interested in rather gruesome exhibits. Read a lot, had a capacity of drawing. After the unexpected death of his father, the family impoverished. Alfred fifteen then undertook a variety of work until the age of 21 he found employment in the film studios. This is the beginning of the Great Hotcha. Playgrounds drew the title and subtitle - when films were silent - and fairly quickly obtained a job as assistant director. Until 1929, made the nine silent films, which gained particular notoriety "The Tenant" - bathed in fog, enigmatic story of a young man, suspected of being the strangler of women. Murder by suffocation theme will come back in different versions throughout his work. Whole life with Alma Provided lifelong Hitchcock has only one person: his wife. Small, rather unattractive brunette called Lucy Alma Revilla and younger than he was exactly one day. At age 16 she started working in the film studios as editor. Met in the corridors, and then cooperated. "I'm very shy when it comes to women" - he confided to her once, then told the board, and actually the deck of the vessel, which returned to England with pictures in Germany. Alma was suffering from an attack of seasickness, so all the time lying on his bunk, and could not answer, just nodded her head. Waited for her wedding a few years, because Hitchcock claimed that he must consolidate his position of director. The ceremony took place finally EUR 2 December 1926, Alma moved earlier to Roman Catholicism. The husband was 27 years and a significant overweight, and his wife appeared to be fragile and delicate. Devoted to the well-promising career, but instead was colleague's spouse in writing screenplays, as well as an advisor. An ambitious and sensitive to the husband forced the trip to the United States. Said goodbye to England just before the outbreak of war in 1939. Hitchcock began a new chapter of life, signing a contract with producer David O. Selznick. His American debut was excellent melodrama, 'Rebecca', the characteristic theme of life under pressure: the heroine of the film exists in mental constantly compared with his deceased predecessor, alongside grim aristocrat. Is Alfred and Alma combined passion? Probably not. In their life there were periods of cold alienation. Reluctant to accept the news of the pregnancy of his wife, hardly bore her physical transformation, and the time when she began to give birth, simply vanished for several hours. It was Saturday, February 7, 1927. Patricia Alma, their only child, was born in the bedroom at the home of London's Cromwell Road. Was a smart girl, her father inherited the tendency to over the carcass.
