Second Hitchcock cameo?


At the very end of the film, the news paper is put down on the bench. You see two men walking away, one of whom looks like Hitchcock from the back.

That guy was probably added in there because of his resemblance to Hitch from the back. But that's not him. He's a little too short, and Hitch never put his cameos at the picture's end.

reply

In his cameos he is also always clearly recognizable. He is never shot only from the rear.

I just watched "Suspicion" last night and there was a scene where I thought it was Hitchcock from the back and then the man turned and you could see it was not, I think it is a little game he plays with his audience, since we all know he will be there somewhere in every film. He was full of trickery. He is my all time fav director.

That man fooled me too. But he's too short and walked too fast to be old Hitch.
