【世界文化博览】惊悚大师：希区柯克 4
http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201211/201211151011197292590.mp3Hitchcock is often described as having working class cockney origins. He wasn't really working class. I mean his father was a greengrocer, wholesale and retail. There was a very important distinction between being lower middle class, having your own business, being a shopkeeper and something, and being actually working class. And Hitchcock was definitely on the middle class side of this divide. And I think that they were always conscious of it.Born in August, 1899, above the family's high street shop in a London suburb of Leytonstone, Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was the youngest of the three children of Emma and William Hitchcock.
The father seems to have been, in certain respects, a fairly strict disciplinarian, but his mother seems to have been the tougher of the two parents, and he remained in awe of her throughout her life.
My grandmother, my father's mother, Emma, was a wonderful character, I mean, absolutely. She was very forceful. You can imagine a young person would be scared of her, you know, a son, because she, you know, she made them toe the line.
