  re #310:  Not a body, no..

  If I recall correctly, one of the characters is reading a newspaper
  that has somehow survived the shipwreck and Hitchcock's image appears
  in an advertisement for some sort of weight loss method.

Hedren has aged well (surgically enhanced no doubt).

  The best thing is to let people look for themselves. I've yet to see him
in Psycho, and Rear Window.

resp:303
it doesn't take much money to make good colors, even when influenced by
comicdom's classic flatness. by the time he was making movies most good comics
had either improved their color schemes or stuck w/ black & white, and long,
long before then, when he was still shaving with an abrasive washcloth, comics
had much better use of flat color schemes, beginning over in europe. it might
be better argued that he learned how to be a director from watching gap and
mcdonalds commercials.

I have seen him in Psycho, but I missed him this time.  I did spot him in
Rear Window.  We saw him in one or two of the others, but I've forgotten
the details.

Re the "romance" in The Birds: There wasn't one.  Mother and former
girlfriend *assumed* there was a romance.

        Are we assuming that we share an
        unambiguous definition of "romance"?

Probably.  She visited Bodega Bay because she was a practical joker with
no reason to limit herself.  'Twould be interesting to know what was in the
original note, the one she destroyed when replacing it with a note to the
sister.

  Where was he in Rear Window? I watched it really close and still must have
missed it.

Early in the film he can be seen in one of the apartment windows,
doing some repair work or something.

are there any hitch movies where he makes his sole appearance anywhere 
beyond 'early in the film'? i understand he tried to get the tradition 
out of the way quickly so viewers wouldn't spend the whole movie 
searching for him while ignoring the flic.

Actually, he was visiting the piano player.

I heard that he moved his appearances to earlier in the films after people
started looking for him.

i just saw an episode of the simpsons where they did a brief
sendup of 'the birds'.  homer lisa and bart walked into
a daycare to get maggie, and all the babies were sucking
pacifiers in an eerie way. tons of them.
like they were ready to attack and just waiting to be provoked.
after homer grabbed maggie, he slowly backed out of the daycare and
shut the door.
alfred hitchcock made a cameo walking a dog outside.

(It was the Ayn Rand Daycare Center, if I remember correctly.)
