Between 1926 and 1976, Alfred Hitchcock made fifty-two feature films. In thirty-one of these films, the same director appears, making special figuration, once in each movie. In two of them, The Lodger and Under Capricorn, appears twice in each film. In Lifeboat, your photo is placed on the "before" and "after" ad, in a newspaper. In Dial M for Murder, Hitchcock can be seen in the photograph of a group meeting.
