So, french agent Aru, ordered to investigate, with the help of CIA officials, pulled out the KGB agent Huang Gem, who was lurking in the upper echelons of France.
In 1976, Hitchcock made his last film, The Family Conspiracy.
Hitchcock directed many suspense films, so the follow-up produced suspense TV drama theater named after Hitchcock, suspense novel magazine named after Hitchcock, and various novel collections named after Hitchcock.
These are Hitchcock's four major series.
Second, Hitchcock suspense TV series:
The television series, from 1955 to 1965, lasted for ten years, with one episode per week, including: Hitchcock Theater, 1955 to 1962, seven seasons, and Hitchcock Time, 1963 to 1965, three seasons. Among them were Hitchcock Suspense, 1957, a season, and Hitchcock Begins, 1959, a season.
New Hitchcock Theatre, 1985-1989, four seasons, 76 episodes, is entirely a new creation by posterity.
Hitchcock Theater, which began airing in 1955, ran for seven seasons and ran until 1962, with each episode lasting half an hour, totaling 268 episodes, of which only 17 were directed by Hitchcock himself, and the rest were directed by other directors and writers, but Hitchcock himself appeared at the beginning and end of each episode.
Hitchcock appears in the title of the TV series
Hitchcock Time, 1 hour per episode, aired from 1963 to 1965, with three seasons and 93 episodes. The reason these series are good is that some of them are writers or writers who have long-term collaborations with Hitchcock, such as Henry Slysa, who have done more than forty episodes of the original book or adapt the script.

Hitchcock Suspense Magazine:
Hitchcock Suspense Fiction Magazine, which has been run in the United States so far, is referred to as ahmm in the industry. In 1956, H.S.D. Publishing Company, authorized by Hitchcock, used his name to title the magazine. The first issue of ahmm was published in December 1956, and although the publisher changed hands several times, it has continued to this day and has been prosperous for a long time.
HITCHCOCK's suspense novels:
In addition to the twenty-seven magazine novels published by the editorial board of Hitchcock Magazine in the 1970s and 1980s, Hitchcock has been cooperating with booksellers to publish various "Hitchcock Selected" novels under his name, usually there will be introduction articles signed Hitchcock in front of the book, but in fact, the selection and compilation of these books are completed by others, and the guides are also ghostwritten by people. Because Hitchcock has a very high reputation, readers who love to read suspense stories have come to the "Hitchcock" brand, so this kind of novel collection has always had a good market, from the 1940s to hitchcock's death in the 1980s, such novel collections continued to be published. Although the introduction is given Hitchcock's name, the author of each novel is clearly listed in those novel collections.
Hitchcock suspense novel
The boundary between suspense novels and thriller horror novels is not very clear, so these novel collections published under the name of Hitchcock, which have both suspense novels and thriller horror novels, can be collectively called suspense and horror novels.
In fact, Hitchcock's film works are also both suspense films and thrillers, such as "Bathroom Murder".
All detective novels, suspense novels, thriller novels, the reason why has been prosperous, and later detective novels have also derived video games, one is because detective novels are related to human intelligence; the other is because people have a thrill-seeking psychology, and they like to hide in a safe place to watch others have accidents, which is both stimulating and safe.
In addition, these novels and television also have the role of warning people not to commit crimes, for example, Hitchcock's suspense TV drama theater is actually very positive, quite similar to Feng Menglong's "Warning World Constant Words", so that the audience can cherish the peaceful life in front of them more after watching it.
