Have you ever noticed Alfred Hitchcock’s cameos in his own films? From 1927 to 1976, the “Master of Suspense” made appearances in 40 of his films. Whether he’s boarding a train with a cello or giving a sly look to an actress, Hitchcock’s cameos are iconic and unforgettable.
Thanks to a supercut video edited by Morgan T. Rhys and posted on YouTube, you can now enjoy every single Alfred Hitchcock cameo in one entertaining compilation. The video starts with The Lodger (1927) and Easy Virtue (1928) and covers his entire filmography, ending with Frenzy (1972) and Family Plot (1976) – Hitchcock’s final feature film before his passing in 1980.
In a discussion with François Truffaut, Hitchcock jokingly called his cameos “troublesome,” as audience anticipation for his appearances often became distracting. To avoid taking away from the film’s plot, Hitchcock made sure to get his cameo over with in the first 5 minutes.
