If Hitch were to have directed 'Laura', how would he do his 'cameo'?
I'd love it to involve Waldo, somehow...maybe he could play his manservant who fusses with the wine while Waldo waits for Laura's call, that fateful Friday evening.
shareFrom what little I can recall of Hitch's cameos, he usually has the part of an "extra" -- just an extra body in a scene; standing on a street, walking by, getting on a train, etc. (His photo appeared in a magazine or newspaper advertisement in "Lifeboat.")
I can't see him doing anything as "intrusive" as fussing with the wine. I don't think he would have done that. Doesn't seem to be his style.
He could have been an extra in any of the restaurant scenes, or a guest at Ann's party -- where Laura and Shelby meet. Of course, the camera angles would have been adjusted so that he was clearly seen.
Hitch would have fit right in: ".....one night at a party at Ann Treadwell's.....
It was one of her usual roundups of bizarre and nondescript characters...
- corralled from every stratum of society."
Great idea, Gubbio!
Or, how about, for a split second, a virtual frame of film, his - and not Laura's - visage appears in the portrait over her mantle piece?

Uh, no. That would be creepy.
The only thing I can think of that would be creepier than that would be Hitch sharing the tub with Waldo in the opening scene.

Or Hitch giving Waldo a massage after his bath, then they both light a cigarette and lie back and stare at the ceiling.
LeeAnn Rimes. No it doesn't.
