'Alfred Hitchcock's cameo appearances' - by K.J.S.Chatrath


Alfred Hitchcock - the master of suspense films

I am a longstanding fan of Alfred Hitchcock's films. But this piece is about his cameo appearances in his films. Yes, it is nothing original, but I thought some friends might like it.
 

English film director Alfred Hitchcock is well known for his suspense films. Interestingly, he also made cameo appearances in 39 of his 52 surviving major films (his second film, The Mountain Eagle, is lost). For the films in which he appeared, he would be seen for a brief moment boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard, or even appearing in a newspaper photograph (as seen in the film Lifeboat, which otherwise provided no other opportunity for him to appear).


 
In To Catch a Thief (1955), Hitchcock appears as the bus passenger on the right alongside Cary Grant.
