Talk by Gary Lewis

Alfred Hitchock was the son of a greengrocer and was born in Leytonstone, Essex. Later in life he became known as a legendary director of suspense and thriller films. Gary’s illustrated talk looks at Hitchcock’s early life from 1899 to 1907 and his return to Leytonstone from 1914 to 1926.

See how Hitchcock’s upbringing and early life influenced his later movie career. The talk is based on Gary’s own research and observations. It features many rare and exclusive photographs and documents.
