A boy's best friend is his mother...
It's kind of incredible that someone as renowned and influential as Alfred Hitchcock hasn't been the source of more fictional portrayals. He is one of the greatest filmmakers ever to live – certainly one of the most influential. As “the master of suspense,” he designed and...
