At least nine of Alfred Hitchcock 's rare silent films, made at the beginning of his career, will be staged in 2012 in many public screenings, The Independent has reported. Robin Baker, the British Film Institute's head curator, calls Hitchcock's silent movie The Mountain Eagle the "holy grail" of lost British films. "It was made in 1926 and was his last silent film featuring a sexually vulnerable young woman and a case of miscarriage of justice," he said to The Independent . Three of Hitchcock's restored silent films are The Pleasure Garden (1925), The Lodger (1927) and The Farmer's Wife (1928).

His father died when he was 14. After he graduated, he became intrigued by photography and started working in film production in London on a branch of what would become Paramount Pictures. After a successful career with silent movies and the early talkie ones in the United Kingdom, in March 1939, David O. Selznick signed Hitchcock onto a seven-year contract beginning in March 1939 as the Hitchcock family was moving to Hollywood , United States. He was nominated for five Academy Awards as a best director but never took home the prize, and one of his most succesful movies during his Hollywood stay was the 1958 film Vertigo, featuring James Stewart and Kim Novak . Hitchcock became a United States citizen in 1956 while retaining his British citizenship. Hitchcock's last successful production was the 1972 film Frenzy . The 1976 film Family Plot was his last film. Hitchcock died from kidney failure in his home at Bel Air , Los Angeles, California, at 80. His body was cremated and his ashes were thrown in the Pacific Ocean.
