I generally tend to dislike so-called classic artists and authors such as Shakespeare (In my opinion, his plays are generally of substandard quality). And, since Hitchcock has a legacy almost as big as Shakespeare, I was close to dismissing him as just another over-hyped director. However, I was pleasantly surprised as to the quality of his movies, and the hilarity of the intros for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." He has a style truly of his own, and really is the "Master of Suspense." The plots in his movies are always superb, the camera work is second to none, and he often uses a lot of complex camera tricks way ahead of his time. His legacy and fame are truly well-deserved. All in all, there is not a whole lot to complain about when it comes to Hitchcock! (unlike Shakespeare...)
