During the filming of The Lodger, Hitchcock later said his cameo came about at the last minute because the actor who was supposed to play the bit part of a telephone operator failed to show up, so Hitchcock filled in for him. For the films in which he appeared, he would be seen for a brief moment in a non-speaking part as an extra, such as boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard, or even appearing in a newspaper photograph.
Alfred Hitchcock made cameo appearances in 40 of his 54 major films. This entry was posted in Uncategorized by Steven U. However, Charlie did not try to kill Charlie using the ideas that Joe and Herb had. They list putting poison in each other’s drink and other ways This is foreshadowing because towards the end of the film Charlie will try to kill Charlie first with the stairs, then the garage, then on the train. For the audience, it was strange because out all the conversations that they can have they decide to talk about how they would be able to murder each other. One example of this is how much Herb and Joe would talk about how they would murder each other and be able to get away with it. This scene builds up suspense, and it is also interesting because the use of stairs can be seen in various Hitchcock films including Psycho and Vertigo.Īnother interesting theme of the movie is Hitchcock’s use of foreshadowing. Additionally, one interesting scene throughout the film is when Saunders took a picture of Charles at the bottom of the steps. Hitchcock’s use of suspense throughout the film draws in viewers and keeps them from being able to guess the ending of the movie. However, once the plot progresses there is a build up of suspense when we find out Charles is actually a murderer. Hitchcock leads the audience to believe that Charles is being followed and the two men are out to hurt Charles. At the beginning of the film, we are introduced to Charles who seems to be running away from something. The first theme I notice is Hitchcock’s use of suspense throughout the film. This week I watched Hitchcock’s film Shadow of a Doubt, and there were many interesting themes that I noticed throughout the film.
