Hitchcock was one of the first directors whose name on a film meant more to audiences than the star billing Hitchcock began his career in Britain, in 1920, as an assistant film technician, but within five years was directing his own projects. While working with producer Michael Balcon, his talents as a director flourished with films like " The Man Who Knew Too Much" (1934), "The 39 Steps" (1935), and "The Lady Vanishes" (1938) Hitchcock left for the U.S. in 1939, after being signed up by producer David O. Selznick, and completed his first Hollywood feature, "Rebecca," in 1940. Alfred Hitchcock, British-U.S. film director, Hitchcock, who was known as the "master 1899-1980 of suspense," worked with some of cinema's biggest stars; and although he was said to treat them "like cattle," he gave Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and Grace Kelly some of their best roles.
