| description | In 1954, Alfred Hitchcock left Warner Bros. for Paramount under a new contract that increased his salary, gave him a percentage of gross profits, afforded him more freedom and autonomy, and put him on a par financially with any director in Hollywood.

The clause stipulated that the ownership of the pictures he produced and directed for Paramount would revert to Hitchcock eight years after their initial release.
