Hitch the Master of Suspense directed it! (4)
I believe the answer is:
rope
I believe this is a double definition.
'hitch' is the first definition.
(hitch can mean to fasten with rope)
'master of suspense directed it' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the' is the link.
(Other definitions for rope that I've seen before include "Hitch" , "murder weapon" , "Guy" , "making money easily when old?" , "Stout cord" .)
