Hitchcock, Reville marry

At the age of 26, director Hitchcock marries Alma Reville, an editor who also worked as an assistant director on several British films, including Hitchock’s own The Lodger. The marriage ceremony is held at Brompton Oratory, a Roman Catholic church in South Kensington, London.

Had the beautiful Ms. Reville not accepted a lifetime contract without options as Mrs. Alfred Hitchcock some 53 years ago, Mr. Alfred Hitchcock might be in this room tonight, not at this table but as one of the slower waiters on the floor. I share my award, as I have my life, with her.
