Terrence1 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 As many times as I've seen this movie, I've never been able to spot the appearance of the director. It usually ocurs toward the beginning. Does anyone remember in which scene he appears? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In The Trouble with Harry, he can be seen 21 minutes into the film as he walks past a parked limousine while an old man looks at paintings for sale at the roadside stand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Harry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickAndNora34 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Wow. I just watched this movie for the first time, and didn't even notice Hitch's small cameo. I'll have to re-watch it to see him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks, Larry. I watched the first part again, just to see his appearance. You really have to be alert to spot him. I think this is his most obscure appearance. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow_Leach Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think this is his most obscure appearance. Thanks again. My vote goes to "Lifeboat" and his "cameo" in a newspaper advert featuring his before and after shots for weight-loss product "Reduco". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually ocurs toward the beginning. Does anyone remember in which scene he appears? I've seen it several times, and I STILL always miss it! Next time I watch I'll have to put TOOTHPICKS in my eyes as to not BLINK and possibly miss it AGAIN! Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twharry42 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Maybe this will help. There is a website, 1000 frames of The Trouble With Harry. Not every frame, but something for a reference point. Note the frames from the scene in the emporium. Frame 227 specifically, when Mildred Dunnock starts to wrap the coffee cup that Mildred Natwick has selected. Watch for this scene in the movie, which is available now in the TCM movies on demand list. As Mildred Dunnock wraps the cup and saucer, she looks out the window, and sees the director walking by the limo. Yes, I think this is the most obscure cameo that Hitchcock ever did. And I've beaten this to death in another thread, but I think its interesting that the voice in the song is supposed to be that of John Forsythe, but is clearly not. Whose voice is it?

The Beave is bloody good. But this is Shirley MacLaine's debut movie and she is simply a natural with the Charisma of a movie star. Fra-- Did you miss that?
