Alfred Hitchcock made a total of 37 self-referential cameos in his films over a 50 year period (from 1926-1976), if one counts his narration at the start of The Wrong Man (1956). Hitchcock's first appearance was in his third film, The Lodger (1926), and then in just six more of his British films. Two war-time shorts after 1940, Bon Voyage (1944) and Aventure Malgache (1944), did not contain cameos either. The most ingenious cameo appearances were in films with limited sets, as in Lifeboat (1944), Rope (1948), and Dial M for Murder (1954). One recurring theme was that Hitchcock carried a stringed instrument in some of the cameos. Note: Only once did he appear in an installment of his Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-1966) TV show - besides his personal introductions - in the episode titled Dip in the Pool, he showed up on the cover of a magazine.

I easily have considered all of them - years in the past, and that i don't undergo in concepts the place he grow to be in those. In Rear Window, he's interior the place of work social gathering scene. i think that he's in everyone of his movies.
