What Hitchcock looked for from a studio was a simple understanding. He would turn out popular films on time and on budget. In return, he expected to be left alone to make his own films in his own way. This was the deal on which his life as a filmmaker would be based. But Hitchcock had more to offer studios than just his talent. In the opening scenes of the Lodger, sharp-eyed critics spotted an extra, who looked strangely familiar. It was the first of the celebrated Hitchcock cameos.
My mother wasn't born a Catholic, but she became a Catholic when she married my father, and they were married at Brompton Oratory in London. We lived in London. We lived on Chromo Road, No.153 and then on weekends we would go down to Surrey, near Gilford, a place called Shamley Green, and we had a place called Shamley Cottage and I had horses down there and I loved it. |
