Alfred Hitchcock Hitchcock was a film fan from his teenage years, and in 1919 began his film career at the age of twenty, working as a title card designer for the London branch of the American firm Famous Players-Lasky, the production arm of Paramount Pictures, at Islington Studios.[23] After Famous Players-Lasky pulled out of London in 1922, Hitchcock stayed on as part of the studio staff. He was hired by a new firm run by Michael Balcon and others after being noticed at work on the short film Always Tell Your Wife in early 1923.[24] In time Balcon's company took the name Gainsborough Pictures.[25][26]
