The Big Picture Whether it's depictions of violence, obsession, or coded sexuality, Alfred Hitchcock has never been afraid to push artistic boundaries. The Master of Suspense made his name from thrillers and mysteries that defied conventions of cinematic structures and character archetypes. He extracted thorny ideas buried within our souls and deployed them at a mainstream level, as seen in classics such as Rear Window, Vertigo, and Psycho.

Alfred Hitchcock's Thriller Had Unfortunate Timing Close The filming of Notorious coincided with the Manhattan Project, the top-secret military operation in Los Alamos, New Mexico to build a nuclear bomb during World War II. Anyone who saw Oppenheimer last summer knows the extent of the program's importance. No one outside the site could catch wind of this operation.
Before filming, Hitchcock and Hecht visited a doctor at the California Institute of Technology to discuss the nature of uranium ore. They asked the scientist, "How large would an atom bomb be?" The scientist was alarmed. "You want to have yourselves arrested and have me arrested as well?" he exclaimed.
