No, "Lifeboat" was not based on a book written by John Steinbeck. The movie was directed by Alfred Hitchcock and written by John Steinbeck, but the screenplay was an original work by the author, not based on a pre-existing book.

Rear Window (my personal favorite) is what is known as a 'carpet or rug' movie, meaning the vast majority of the film was filmed indoors. In fact it had one basic room, Jeffery's apartment. Although I'm not an expert on movie making I have heard that carpet films are hard to pull off. Hitchcock did it brilliantly, thanks in great part to the gifted actors Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly and Thelma Ritter.

Hitchcock had a wicked sense of humor, and would sometimes play jokes on co-workers that were more cruel than funny. He was also famous for staying home with his wife (who, by all accounts, he adored) every night, and never socializing. He spoke openly (and sarcastically) about his disagreements with studio exec David Selznick; and, when asked if he really said, "Actors are like cattle" he corrected the quote to be, "Actors should be treated like cattle."

However, I am unaware of any reported difficulties he had with either screen-writers or actors in the making of his films.

The "Alfred Hitchcock Hour" ran for 3 seasons, and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" ran for 7 seasons.

Alfred Hitchcock lived from 13 August 1899 - 29 April 1980. He died from kidney failure at the age of 80.

Alfred Hitchcock never composed any theme songs himself. However, Funeral March of a Marionette by Charles Gounod became known as Hitchcock's Theme because Hitchcock used it for his television series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The theme is still associated with Hitchcock today.

This is one of the few films directed by Hitchcock in which he does not make a cameo.

Rear Window, he plays a man in a wheelchair who witnesses a murder from his window.
Excellent suspense movie.

Yes, he did

No idea, but a coincidence - his maternal grandfather was called Jack Farrell. So was mine. Definitely a different person, but my grandfather used to say that he was related to Grace Kelly. My daughter tells me that Robbie Williams once said that he was related to her too.

No, Hitchcock did not make a cameo appearance in, nor did he direct, Witness for the Prosecution. The movie was directed by Billy Wilder. You may be thinking of The Paradine Case, a different courtroom drama that was directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Hitchcock used newspaper ink for blood in the shower scene in Psycho.

He had to start somewhere.

Suspense! Alfred Hitchcock is known as the master of suspense.

I think you may be thinking of "Lamb to the Slaughter," where a woman kills her husband by hitting him over the head with a frozen leg of lamb. She then serves the lamb to the policemen investigating, effectively getting rid of the murder weapon. So she isn't serving her husband to the cops, just the murder weapon. It is not Hitchcock but from Roald Dahl's 'Tales of the Unexpected'.
