3:22 “Uhhh, Alfred. What are you doing?” “I’m hiding.” “From who?” “Damn it, that’s not important.”

I had heard Mr. Hitchcock took background roles in each picture he directed and this goes to prove that there is no such thing as a small part.

Since I was a little kid, my grandma always watches suspense by starting watching to catch a thief then strangers on a train and she loved it so I began watching the films and my favorite one of them all is vertigo and north by northwest. I like vertigo because I suffer vertigo from roller coasters and very high stuff so I always watch crime films such as White heat, the public enemy, and Dillinger (1945).

Low-key kinda wholesome tbh :)

For at least a few of these a circle around Hitchcock would be helpful to the viewer.

He’s had as much cameos as Stan Lee

0:51 So, you want to have a camera for doing your own Hitchcock-style cameo? In this appearance, he's holding a Kodak Bantam 4.5. When I see a camera in a film, I have to figure out what it is. Best wishes from Vermont 🍁

I always look for his cameos.it's good to finally see the one in rebecca,as i never noticed it before

I heard that almost half his work has been lost, probably his early work.

It’s like where’s wally

I know his appearance doesn’t effect the story, but I always thought it was fun to think that he’s connected to all these stories and he’s just there to make sure it all goes as planned.

Most Ingenious > 1:54

The way it cuts off after he says "maybe we could beat that record" after such a dumb idea makes this scene sound like a modern day meme 1:53

Did you accidentally keep the Vertigo music running over North by Northwest?

Anni fa davano in televione dei suoi "corti" in bianco e nero che lui presentava

I've seen Stephen King do this too.

I love the Notorious Cameo. The main characters are very concerned that the guests are going through the wine too quickly. Who is drinking so much wine? Alfred Hitchcock of course!

Marvel fans: Stan Lee was so iconic being the first person to appear as cameos in so many movies. Alfred Hitchcock: hold my suspense...

Skipped a lot

Imagine Alfred Hitchcock & Stan Lee making a cameo in the same scene, wouldn’t that be legendary!

This guy was BUGGED.

Lol, The Lady Vanishes, shrugging his shoulders up and down as he walks past. What a card.

Stan Lee cameos: hey look, there i am! Hitchcock cameos: i bet you cant spot me

what are the characteristics of Alfred Hitchcock, in his movies, he appears and does an other thing in his movies what is it?

before Stan Lee, Alfred Hitchcock was way ahead of its time

Secret Agent 1936 is missing ...

I laughed way too hard at the Topaz cameo.

I never thought he has cameo in the rope.

this wouldn't really work with any other director, i think. he has a very distinctive silouette.

Dial M for Murder,is used in the Shining for Nicholsons character.

drooping lower lip was due to eating too much roast duck and pork.

I can't see him in most of those films

Hitchcock scholar Paul Hyder has this to say about Hitchcock's brief appearance in Psycho(1960): "The real criminal in the office scene is the rich oil man, Cassidy.(Interestingly enough, Hitchcock makes his cameo appearance during the office scene. He can be seen standing idly outside the office wearing a ten-gallon hat. Cassidy too wears a similar hat, suggesting a possible connection between the two.) Although he is married, he flirts with Marion and tries to seduce her with his wealth. He mentions that he’s using the $40,000 to buy a house for his daughter’s wedding present. We assume that the wealth Cassidy owns has been legitimately earned but later he lets slip the fact that he doesn’t declare his taxes to the authorities and thus avoids paying what he is legally obliged to pay. Although Cassidy comes across as a legitimate businessman, he has obviously had to be ruthless and exploit others in order to acquire his wealth. Watching Cassidy drool over the younger Marion and tease her with his cash is quite nauseating and we empathise with her pitiful predicament. Cassidy has the power because he is rich and has bags of money, while Marion is poor and has to steal to improve her position. No wonder she wants to flee to Fairvale, a fabled place where there is fairness for all." www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08DL7DSXM/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i2

Great Mind of suspense...

"Dial M For Murder" is the most funny hahahaha

Brilliant idea on his part , but then again , it really was just one of many.

He had such a strange and personal sense of humour....

Came here because I'm watching SOAD and couldn't zero Hitch. Miss Charlie's (Teresa Wright) lil sis Ann (Edna May Wonacott ) is a scream! " NowIlaymedowntosleep - Ipraythelordmysoultokeep ... God bless Captain Midnight, Veronica Lake and thepresidentoftheunitedstatesAmen!" " In the south, a young lady picks flowers while wearing gloves!"

Where is he in the second rope scene?

Hitch walking the doggies in The Birds is unforgettable !

If you can't recognise him he's the fat 1

This Alfred guy is crazy!!!

The background character of the century.

Love this. I’m a Huge Hitchcock fan. My mailman’s son, Evan hunter, wrote the screenplay for the birds. However, when Hitchcock asked him to write the screenplay for marnie, hunter refused because of the rape seen.

The best were the newspaper in Lifeboat and the photo from Dial M

Sideways glance. Funny.

I love him

Apologies in advance for my misspelling of 'Suspense' and 'Thief'.
