The couple’s first home after marriage was a modest two-bedroom flat on the top floor of 153 Cromwell Road, part of a mid-Victorian terrace, where they also hosted their wedding reception. Alma had worked on a number of Hitchcock’s earlier films as a close collaborator and she continued to consult on decisions such as editing and casting through much of his career, though she remained largely out of the limelight. Hitchcock married film editor Alma Reville (1900-82) in December 1926. Hitchcock made his debut as a director of feature films with The Pleasure Garden (1925) and four years later he directed Blackmail, the first British full-length ‘talkie’, in which he made one of his trademark cameo appearances. The youngest of the three children of William Hitchcock (1862–1914), a greengrocer, and his wife, Emma Jane Whelan (1863–1942), he was an isolated, tubby child, with few school friends.

Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films in a career spanning six decades. Through his cameo appearances in his own films, interviews, film trailers, and the television program Alfred Hitchcock Presents, he became a cultural icon. Hitchcock's films also borrow many themes from psychoanalysis and feature strong sexual undertones. 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 "MacGuffins" meant only to serve thematic elements in the film and the extremely complex psychological examinations of the characters. His stories frequently feature fugitives on the run from the law alongside "icy blonde" female characters. He framed shots to maximize anxiety, fear, or empathy, and used innovative film editing.
