Alfred Hitchock is known to be the master of suspense:-
beginning with his early silent film The Lodger (1926), a
suspenseful Jack-the-Ripper story, followed by his next
thriller Blackmail (1929), his first sound film (but also
released in a silent version). Hitchcock would make a
signature cameo appearance in his feature films,
beginning with his third film The Lodger (1926), although
his record was spotty at first. After 1940, he appeared in
every one, except for The Wrong Man (1956).
