Alfred Hitchcock filmography

Top

The filmography of Alfred Hitchcock encompasses the earliest silent films on which he worked as a title designer through to his last directorial effort in 1976. Hitchcock started his illustrious career in his native Britain, and after achieving success there, he moved to Hollywood, where he made most of his most famous and popular pictures. In 1972, Hitchcock returned to Britain to make Frenzy. Some of his work has been compiled into collections, such as the DVD set The Masterpiece Collection.
