In Reply to: Alfred Hitchcock cameos posted by rico on March 28, 2005 at 09:31:28:
Downing a drink in one gulp at a party in "Notorious"
Guy that can't get on the bus at the end of opening credits in "North By Northwest"
Walking 2 poodles out of the pet store at beginning of "Birds"
that's enough out of me....
Follow Ups:
is his appearence in the before and after ads of a weight loss program in a newspaper in "Lifeboat".
That's hilarious.
In his interview with Hitchcock, Truffaut asked him about that appearance. Hitch replied that he had foregone all his usual culinary pleasures and strenuously dieted for about a year when he was preparing "Lifeboat". The fact that the change in his appearance inspired his best cameo was icing on the cake. Hitch added that much to his surprise, he received letters after the release of the film asking questions like how did "Reduco Obesity Slayer" work...how much did it cost...did he know where it could be bought...was he selling it himself! Hitch finished his comments on the "Lifeboat" cameo by saying that once he resumed his former rich foods and fine wines, the weight came right back.
