STYLE DEVELOPMENT AND ART OF PRODUCTION
Hitchcock’s movie Blackmail released in 1929 was promoted as Britain’s first full-length movie. Then in the 1930’s he gained a well known reputation creating a series of brisk and audacious chase thrillers for Gaumont-British ,including The 39 Steps(1935) and The Lady Vanishes(1938) The movie who launched the British director in American history was “Rebecca”(1940).With this film begins Hitchcock’s systematic attention upon “the subjective”.
