6 Hello, Hollywood

Chapter 5 Hello, Hollywood There were already many British directors, writers, and actors in Hollywood when the Hitchcocks arrived in 1939. But Hitch preferred the company of Americans like his new movie star neighbors, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard.

当希区柯克夫妇1939年到达好莱坞时，好莱坞已经有了许多英国导演、作家和演员。 但希契更喜欢美国人的陪伴，比如他的新电影明星邻居克拉克·盖博和卡罗尔·隆巴德。

Hitch's early days in Hollywood were focused on making his first American movie, Rebecca, starring Joan Fontaine and Lawrence Olivier. CLARK GABLE AND CAROLE LOMBARD CLARK GABLE (1901–1960) WAS A LEADING MAN IN OVER SIXTY MOVIES FROM 1931 UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1960. PERHAPS KNOWN BEST FOR HIS ROLE AS RHETT BUTLER IN GONE WITH THE WIND, HIS FINAL LINE IN THAT FILM IS ONE OF THE MOST

希契在好莱坞的早期专注于拍摄他的第一部美国电影《丽贝卡》，由琼·方丹和劳伦斯·奥利维尔主演。 克拉克·盖博（1901-1960）从1931年到1960年去世，是60多部电影的主角。 也许他最出名的角色是《乱世佳人》中的瑞德·巴特勒，他在这部电影中的最后一句台词是最精彩的

FAMOUS IN MOVIE HISTORY: "FRANKLY, MY DEAR, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN." CAROLE LOMBARD (1908–1942) WAS THE HIGHEST-PAID STAR IN HOLLYWOOD IN THE LATE 1930S. SHE WAS KNOWN FOR HER QUICK TIMING IN COMEDIC ROLES AND FAMOUS PRANKS. GABLE AND LOMBARD STARRED IN A MOVIE TOGETHER IN 1932 AND WERE MARRIED IN 1939. IN 1942, CAROLE'S PLANE CRASHED IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NEVADA. CLARK WAS NEVER QUITE THE SAME AFTER HER DEATH.

电影史上著名的一句：“坦白说，亲爱的，我一点也不在乎。” 卡罗尔·隆巴德（1908-1942）是20世纪30年代末好莱坞片酬最高的明星。 她以在喜剧角色和著名恶作剧中的快速反应而闻名。 盖博和隆巴德在1932年一起出演了一部电影，并于1939年结婚。 1942年，卡罗尔的飞机在内华达州的山区坠毁。 克拉克在她死后就变了。

World War II was close to breaking out in Europe. Soon England, especially London, would be the target of German bomber planes. Hitch's old friend and boss Michael Balcon called Hitch a "deserter" for leaving England, but the British government was grateful for artists like Hitchcock working in Hollywood. Even movies that weren't about the war were often seen as promoting a brave British attitude. Rebecca premiered in Hollywood in 1940. At the Academy Awards in 1941, Hitchcock was

第二次世界大战即将在欧洲爆发。 很快，英国，尤其是伦敦，将成为德国轰炸机的目标。 希区柯克的老朋友兼老板迈克尔·巴尔肯称希区柯克是离开英国的“逃兵”，但英国政府对希区柯克这样的艺术家在好莱坞工作表示感谢。 即使是与战争无关的电影也常常被视为在宣传一种勇敢的英国态度。 《丽贝卡》于1940年在好莱坞首映。 在1941年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，希区柯克

nominated for Best Director, and Rebecca won the Oscar for Best Picture of the Year. His first American movie had won the biggest prize of all—it hadn't taken Hitch long to conquer Hollywood. At age thirteen, Hitch's daughter, Pat, was cast in a play on Broadway. The play was called Solitaire. Hitch and Alma were very proud of her success.

获得最佳导演提名，《丽贝卡》获得奥斯卡年度最佳影片奖。 他的第一部美国电影获得了最高奖项——希契很快就征服了好莱坞。 十三岁时，希契的女儿帕特出演了百老汇的一部戏剧。 这出戏叫《纸牌》。 希契和阿尔玛为她的成功感到骄傲。

Alma went to New York for the play's opening night, but Hitch had to stay in Hollywood and work. Pat didn't mind. She said she would be more nervous with her father in the audience watching! On September 26, 1942, Hitch's elderly mother died. And only a few months later, his brother, William, died unexpectedly of heart failure. His sister had moved to South Africa.

阿尔玛去了纽约参加该剧的首演，但希契必须留在好莱坞工作。 帕特并不介意。她说如果她爸爸在观众席上看着她会更紧张！1942年9月26日，希契年迈的母亲去世了。 仅仅几个月后，他的兄弟威廉因心脏衰竭意外去世。 他的妹妹搬到了南非。
