The Big Picture In addition to being one of the most influential filmmakers of all-time, the great Alfred Hitchcock was also one of the most industrious. After starting his filmography with a series of low-budget British films in the 1920s, Hitchcock launched an impressive career that spanned over six decades.

While he is responsible for some of the greatest films of all-time, Hitchcock’s career was met with a period of creative disenfranchisement in the early 1970s.
Related The Alfred Hitchcock Thriller That Should've Used Its Sinister Alternate Ending Even the Master of Suspense himself didn't like the ending of his 1941 thriller. The Short Night was based on the novel of the same name by author Ronald Kirkbride, whose work also inspired the 1962 Preston Sturges film A Girl Named Tamiko. Although it never made it past a pre-production phase, The Short Night’s script was completed by some of Hitchcock’s previous collaborators.
Although his name itself was a selling point for the film, Hitchcock considered many popular movie stars for a role in The Short Night. Although Clint Eastwood turned down what was likely a role in The Short Night due to his concerns about the script, Hitchcock considered both Sean Connery and Steve McQueen for the role of Bailey. Walter Matthau, who appeared in an episode of his anthology series Alfred Hitchcock Presents, was considered for the role of Brand.
