Hitchcock as an Auteur: Infographic & Notes

Hitchcock as an auteur:
- Late 50's: Studio system at height of development + on verge of changes that'd sweep it away by mid 60's
- After years of success in film/tv: Hitchcock was household name & one of a few directors that largely gained independence from studio interfence
- Late 50's: Hitchcock made films for most of major studios (usually on his terms) & recent hits included Rear Window
- Hitchcock 'signature' = brief cameo in all his films. Below is every Hitchcock cameo ever.


Hitchcock worked with close knit team of regulars he trusted to fulfil his vision of pure cinema:

  • Robert Burks = DP
  • George Tomasini = Editor
  • Henry Bumstead = Art Director
  • Bernard Hermann = Music
  • Saul Bass = Titles
  • Edith Head = Costume
+ worked repeatedly with certain stars (e.g. Cary Grant/James Stewart) & could hire any of the leading ladies of the day.
