Rear Window : Hitchcock's Cameo

Hitchcock's Cameo

Is he really supposed to be a clock repairman/calibration technician (who makes house calls)?

Doesn't seem plausible to me.

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

I am watching it now. There is a party scene on the composer's apartment, and he is one of the guests.

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

That is incorrect. Hitchcock's cameo appears earlier in the film, a day or two before the party, and it is just him and the piano player in the apartment.

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

My brother collected over 300 clocks. He had a repairman who came to the house and repaired/ fine tuned them.

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

Yes.

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

He looks like he is winding the clock anti-clockwise. I wonder if that is a Hitchcock thing ? .

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo


just him and the piano player in the apartment.

Yep, that's when he seen.

Playing the butler

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

LOL, That was a pretty good cameo by him in the Movie.


Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

It's always fun waiting for him to appear in all of his movies.

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

I always assumed that he was the piano player's agent, just fiddling with the clock.

My favorite cameo is the before/after weight reducing ad in Lifeboat.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Re: Hitchcock's Cameo

I don't what his character does. I do know his character likes clocks.
