Listening to Hitchcock speak, it makes me a film student and aspiring director/screenwriter realize just how much i have to learn.

He's gotta a point about the differences, but I like to think mystery and suspense are the Ebony and Ivory of literature.

@cheeriosinabowl In a way, you're right, there is mystery in suspense, but it is possible to have no suspense in mystery. For instance, working out the 'w' questions of a scene (who, what, where, why etc) is not emotive alone, but when these directly effect the emotional stakes towards the character, that's when it become suspense. Hitch is distinguishing the two to cease the common confusion that mystery alone is as emotionally effective as suspense. I'd love to know what you think!
