It's interesting to think of his cameo appearances as a single character, who goes about his life having no idea of the bizarre situations that unfold around him.

[@jannoottenburghs5121]

Ian Turner yeah both ypes are great, but with Stan Lee there is in my opinion that he steals to much from the frame and gets an talking role where the attention is put on him. While with Hitchcock it is very subtle and you get people watching curse themselves for missing his cameo again.

[@sarysa]

Great video! In his later films, he usually appeared during the very first minutes, so the audience could concentrate on the movie after that.

I was fortunate enough to see the 40th Anniversary release of Vertigo back in 1998 at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC. It was presented in 70mm and DTS 6 Channel Digital sound. It was a restoration of a Vista Vision print so it looked nothing short of fabulous. It was a clear reminder of Television's influence on filmmaking at that time, to show moviegoers exactly what they were not able to get from TV.

[@allistercooper8765]

In the beginning, Hitch needed to save money on hiring extras so he cast himself instead, and people began to notice him, so later, even when he could afford hiring more people, he would continue appearing in his own films. He has stated that he prefers his cameos to be as early as possible so the audience could spot him and then focus on the movie.

[@brotherhood7596]

Usually, when Hitchcock thought he'd be directing a masterpiece, he would appear early so that people could focus on the film more.

You missed one. In Rear Window you can also see Hitchcock on the street between the buildings when Raymond Burr's character comes back or leaves later on.

A fascinating man with a keen sense of humor. I understand that his appearance in his own movies is no big deal, but none the less I think it was pure genius with a huge touch of creativity. When I was told of this as a kid, I always paid special attention to trying to spot him. Still do 😀

[@rackinfrackin]

I wish he had made a cameo in High Anxiety. He was an uncredited consultant on that film, according to Mel Brooks.

[@MFPhoto1]

I think Brooks missed an opportunity. Since High Anxiety was a homage to Hitchcock, Brooks should have made a series of cameos rather than star in it himself.

[@rackinfrackin]

@@MFPhoto1 Totally agree. It should have starred Gene Wilder as Dr. Thorndyke. It's no coincidence that the 3 films they collaborated on are not only Brooks' best, but Wilder's best as well.

[@cjmarshall0221]

FYI: Hitchcock DID have the opportunity for a cameo in High Anxiety. Mel Brooks offered it to him, but Hitch politely declined, explaining that he only appears in his own movies. I don't think he was being a snob - it's just that Hitchcock was very much the traditionalist, he had a tendency to follow certain established paths; and only appearing in his films was one of them. That said, Hitchcock was absolutely delighted with High Anxiety, according to Brooks. I saw Mel on a talk show several years after the film debuted, and he said that Hitchcock really enjoyed the irrevency, because so many people had a tendency to treat him very seriously, due to his reputation. Also, I agree that it would have been great if Hitchcock had agreed to a cameo. The way I see it, Mel could have sat Hitch next to him on the bench during "The Birds" scene, and they BOTH would gotten bombarded with bird shit!
