Film director (the 'Master of Suspense')

Usage examples of hitchcock.

Carpenter came down the catwalk, dropped his bag on the deck, and waited calmly for Hitchcock to approach him and offer him his hand.

Of course Hitchcock must already know approximately where they were supposed to go, and was probably capable of getting them there the way mariners had been getting around in the Pacific since the time of Sir Francis Drake and Captain Cook.

Though he often denied ittoo loudlyit was pretty clear Hitchcock felt no small degree of resentment at having been bypassed for captain in favor of an outsider, a mere salaryman from the land-based sector of the Company.

He turned to Hitchcock, who had one hand clamped meditatively over the lower half of his face, pushing his nose back and forth and scratching around in his thick white stubble.

They were staring at him, Nakata, Rennett, Caskie, everybody but Hitchcock, who was on the bridge setting up the engine combinations.

Carpenter wanted to grab Hitchcock by the front of his shirt and bash him against the railing.

Nina said no at first, wanting to sleep late, study her notes, and give Bob a chance to get over his bug, but Andrea came up the stairs to her room, pulled the quilt off of her, and set Hitchcock on her.

In she went, plunging headfirst into the icy cold snowmelt, followed by Hitchcock, Bob, and his cousins Troy and Brianna.

When she came back in with the three guests, Hitchcock, Langlois, and herself, the bartender burst out laughing when he saw three quite very large people around a very small gueridon.

Indeed, the mutual respect and warmth between the French and Hitchcock can still be felt today.
