ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S CAMEO APPEARANCES
|
|
|
|
This is not a complete filmography, but was posted a while ago. It is
|
|
a list of all of Hitch's appearences in his films (a famous trademark).
|
|
I think a complete filmography might be in the Hitchcock/Truffaut
|
|
book but I'm not sure.
|
|
|
|
Alfred Hitchcock appeared in 31 of his movies. Below is a summary of
|
|
where to find him in these films. If you don't want to know where he
|
|
appears and want to guess or look for him, then save but DON'T LOOK!!
|
|
|
|
