I realize that this is a little late but it took me a while
to check my source.
When the net last left the subject of Hitchcock's appearance in
"The Trouble With Harry" it seemed to be lacking a concensus.
The last chapter of the book "The Films of Alfred Hitchcock" by Harris
and Lasky is titled "The Master Revealed" and tells just where Hitch
appeared in all of his films. The entry under "Harry" says: "Walks past
John Forsythe's outdoor exhibition."
Never having seen the film, I can't expand on this but I'm sure it makes
sense to those who have.

Just saw this one last weekend, and I'd rank the three I've seen so far as *Rear Window*, *Rope*, and *Vertigo*. *Vertigo* was a real disappointment for me: I'd been hearing for years how great it was, but the second half just didn't seem to work, and the ending was silly. *Rear Window* was great, good characters, nice suspense, neat set -- something I'll definitely go see again some day. *Rope* also had a nice feel to it. Looking forward to the other two. Wombat ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!wombat

I went to see it with some friends and we had a discussion about it. Later we read a review in the paper which revealed that Dave was right and it was the light. Mary

In ROPE, Hitch appears during the opening credits walking down the sidewalk outside. As far as I know, in only "The Wrong Man" does he appear sooner in one of his movies (he introduces The Wrong Man, thereby apearing before the movie starts). Tom Almy
