Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #46767 Lodger
Instructions
In    1926,    the    young    film    director,    Alfred    Hitchcock,    made    what    is    now    regarded    as    his    first    masterpiece    called    The    Lodger.    It    was    the    story    of    an    innocent    man    wrongly    of    murder    and    it    established    its    director    as    a    major    talent.    Although    now    acknowledged    as    the    best    British    film    of    the    era,    film    distributors    at    the    did    not    think    it    worthy    of    general    release.    For    months    it    sat    on    the    shelf    while    its    director    reflected    on    the    thin    line    that    success    and    failure.    That    thin    line    was    to    haunt    him    throughout    his    sixty    years    of    film-making.    In    a    career    that    began    with    hand-cranked    cameras    and    silent    movie    stars    and    ended    with    his    blockbuster    thrillers    of    the    1950s    and    1960s,    Hitchcock    tasted    success    and    failure    in    equal    measure.    His    subject    courted    controversy    and    his    style    alternately    baffled    and    thrilled    audiences    and    critics  .
