Hitchcock s career in Germany, England and Hollywood highlights key phases of film and television production during the twentieth century, including the integration of synchronized sound in the 1920s, the rise of independent production in the 1940s, the influence of TV in the 1950s, the dominance of multinational, multi-media companies in the 1960s, and the growing cult of celebrity auteurs .
