Pretty blondes are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. She was a mediocre actress. These claims sound no differnt than any other man in a power position back in the 50’s and 60’s.
In comparison to Roman Polanski he sounds like a gentleman.

She will be remember as an sctress that was in 1-2 good films. Hitchcock will be remmebered as the best director EVER. In fact his movie Vertigo was just voted as the best movie EVER.

Really? By whom? Better than Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Casablanca?

Hitchcock was a great director. I would not call him the greatest. Like a great character actor, his range is limited.

Alot of people would argue that Hitchcock absolutely was not the best director ever, and I would be one of them.

Start your list with Sidney Lumet and keep going... Hitchcock is no doubt in the top ten, but he ain’t at the top. Probably fifth or sixth, IMHO.
