Alfred Hitchcock had a long, productive career making fine movies with his distinctive trademarks, each including a cameo by the portly "Master of Suspense" himself. Some of them were masterpieces; all of them are entertaining. He pioneered the use of a camera made to move in a way that mimics a person's gaze His stories frequently feature fugitives on the run from the law alongside "icy blonde" female characters.^]Many of Hitchcock's films have twist endings and thrilling plots featuring depictions of violence, murder, and crime, although many of the mysteries function as decoys or Mac Guffin meant only to serve thematic elements in the film.
