Alfred Hitchcock: In His Movies

The scene in Psycho, where Mr. Hitchcock is walking by Marion Crane's (Played by: Janet Leigh) office window in Phoenix AZ!

That's right folks, it looks like with at least some of his movies, that the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho), has been known to add a personal touch in his movies, that is when he is in them!

Now I haven't personally seen him in all of his movies, but, (and believe it or not, I have been kind of surprised about the fact that Mr. Hitchcock had cameo's in some of his movies as well,) besides having been the host of his anthology series, Alfred Hitchcock has been known to appear in some of his movies, but in the ones that I have seen anyway, it looks like Alfred Hitchcock will not only make an appearance, but I have found that unless you are looking for him, you probably won't find him!

What I mean by this... Well at least in the movies that I have seen of his, that his roles are usually just brief non-speaking cameo roles, doing stuff like, 'walking down the street', (as he did in both, Psycho (1960) and Vertigo (1958))!

Alfred Hitchcock's cameo in, 'Vertigo' (1959)!

The way I discovered this, was one day I happened to be watching a featurette about, 'Psycho', when they started talking about the scenes where Hitchcock appears in some of his movies... Well to say the least, I was a little surprised!

You see, they mentioned the scene that he is in, in Psycho, (you have to understand that I have probably seen Psycho dozens of times over the years,) with that said, I have seen the scene that Hitchcock is in, and in all of this, I honestly could not remember seeing him in that scene or in any other, through out the movie!

So if you are a fan of the master's work, and if you are like me, and don't remember seeing him in any of his movies, then go back through some of them... I think you might find a pleasant surprise!
