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

[@murrayscott9546]

Givvin credit, where credits due !

[@apex2000]

Well deserved.

[@sandrashevey8252]

Did it again with the stunt man in `The Man Who Knew Too Much` (1956) In the Albert Hall sequence the man had to fall from the boxes. He did it perfectly one take. Hitch said, `Double his salary`. On the other hand the director could be cheap, well parsimonious. He coveted that auteur theory and resented any intruders. Thus any of the team who sought personal publicity were sacked ie John Michael Hayes, others.

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

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."

[@jonathangasana]

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

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

[@marcusblackwell2372]

But I read that Vertigo used CGI

[@ncbentle9154]

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".

[@MidnightMan5001]

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

[@dr.downvote]

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…

[@SnickC13]

Maybe he'll be nominated some day like people do after they long pass.

[@murrayscott9546]

Like's been told to me, " We don't need no attaboyz, we know what we did. "​@@SnickC13

[@zaco-km3su]

HE didn't need an Oscar. The Oscar needed him.

[@hipstereagle6050]

Goes to show how overrated the Oscars are. Him along with Kubrick, Kurosawa Spielberg and Scorsese got little to no praise from the Oscars despite being considered GOATs today

[@murrayscott9546]

Anybody I know who watches the Oscar's these days just wants to see whose dress she's wearing. They don't wanna know 'bout technicians. Yannow, the ones that really make things happen !

[@tylerchrist3249]

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.

“There is something more important than logic imagination” Alfred Hitchcock

[@williampetty1778]

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.

[@Buggy-su4oy]

Please do one about The Three Stooges.😊😊

[@j1st633]

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

[@justaguy2365]

Where did the pictures of young Alfred come from?

[@HUMDUDE]

Rear Window is still probably the best scene for scene movie ever (IMO)

[@j1st633]

You speak too fast.

[@thefrecklepuny]

The pranks Hitchcock played on his colleagues made me laugh. Perhaps it says something about me....err....

[@traceymarshall4481]

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

[@Biographics]

Glad you like them!

[@beagleissleeping5359]

Recently learned from a Fact Fiend vid that Karl holds back on his accent. I want to hear it unleashed, even if just in a short.😊

[@Biographics]

I think he's done that on Fact Fiend. Might be in their archives.

[@CC-gg4oj]

Karl, what is that white bent thing on the shelf behind and to your left? Just wondering... Cheers mate.

[@Snowtrooper14]

Thank you. I always wanted to know more about Hitchcock. So thanks for uploading this one. Good choice

[@darkwarriormaster9644]

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".

[@calculatedrage2819]

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

[@introvertsrock9843]

Karl & the new basement is good

[@russelllomando8460]

Love him. saw about 40 movies many times each, + all the TV shows. they still continually play. he's the best. thanks KS.

[@mrlastway9637]

I see Karl. I click. 😀

[@Biographics]

We thank you. He's the man!

[@benjaminepstein5856]

Please cover Antly!

[@jeremyreff6511]

The second I saw him I went "oh no I just got that haircut"

[@thelittlehooer]

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.

[@thomasgartman4025]

I want a plush anteater.

[@alexanderg1297]

If you dig into 80% of directors you will find something problematic. Hitch is undoubtedly a top 10 director and that’s good enough for me.

[@gussygoro2469]

The sad part is that Hitchcock’s harassment is most all of what film directors take away.

[@bat2275]

Next should be spielberg and George Lucas.

How funny, I have Jamaica Inn as my next video.,. I cannot get enough of Charles Laughton or classic Hitchcock

[@Riz2336]

[@MichielSmidt]

Regarding this at 9:13 "there were no unions back then, so anyone could pretty much do anything as long as they know they're asked to do it and have the inclination to do so." So, do you and/or your writer really think that unions are just there to stop talented folks from getting better roles when management wants it? Maybe take a moment to Google "unions" and see what they're actually about, but don't go blaming your professional frustrations on unions for everyone to see!

[@murrayscott9546]

Readda biography, called "Hitch " . Watching this, I wish you'd spent more time on his time in Berlin. Hadda part in what he became. By the way, if you go by the name of Tippy - you might be a bittova push-over, or a drunk.

[@johnchristophersutton9706]

August 13, 2024 would be his 125th birthday.

If you've been pranked by Hitch ? Consider it a blessing. A baptism of fire .

Evidently I'm in a minority, but I rather like the uniqueness of Under Capricorn.

But Rear Window, and North By Northwest are my favourites, with To Catch a Thief and I Confess getting honourable mentions.
