Hitchcock is often described as an auteur; François Truffaut wrote that “Because he exercises such complete control over all the elements of his films and imprints his personal concepts at each step of the way, Hitchcock has a distinctive style of his own. He is undoubtedly one of the few film-makers on the horizon today whose screen signature can be identified as soon as the picture begins.” Anthony Lane writes "I once asked a friend who had never seen Marnie to guess the director. Skipping the opening credits, I started a stopwatch on the first shot—Tippi Hedren's clutch bag under her arm as she walks along a station platform. 'Hitchcock,' he said, and I checked the watch. Twelve seconds." 2601:281:8300:9AF0:552B:C4B0:A82F:49A4 (talk) 21:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

age at death

basic math will conclude that he was not age 80 when he died in 1980, having been born in 1899 2600:1702:3220:23B0:2CA3:2349:976F:95E9 (talk) 02:19, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What sort of basic math would that be? He was born in August and died in April, making him 80 years and about 8 months old. When giving someone's age, we typically say the number of completed years. In Hitchcock's case, that was 80. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 02:55, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
