Early in his career, Alfred Hitchcock began inserting himself into a short scene in each of his films. Once he became a “brand name” director, he would appear early in each film, knowing that audiences would not be able to concentrate on the action until they had seen Hitchcock appear. Usually there was a jokiness to his cameos, but if we take a closer look at all his appearances in his many films, we may discover that he was trying to tell us something. This program will be devoted to figuring out what intentions lay behind all those quick star turns.
This event is free of charge.
