Many people were very helpful in getting info about where Hitchcock is in "The Trouble With Harry"; however, not many agreed. Maybe someone, armed with this info, can go and examine the film again. I had initially posted the question for a friend who had seen it. Below are the responses I got. ************************************************************************* Just saw it last night (previously in 1967!). I came to the conclusion that he must have been the millionaire's chauffeur, but only because there was no other person it could possibly have been. PLEASE POST RESPONSES. I would like to know where I was wrong. Maybe I should go back for a second showing! (BTW, I am a Hitchcock fan and have seen all of his movies -- except Rope -- that he had made since 1935!).

What I will tell you is where you can *look it up*. Find a copy of Francois Truffaut's book "Hitchcock". It was written during the mid-60's, I think. A good library should have it, unless it's been ripped off. (The copy I read was missing 6 pages...) It is a detailed, appreciative study of Hitchcock and every one of his films up to the date of the book, and somewhere there is a long footnote listing all of Hitchcock's appearances, or maybe all of them that aren't mentioned explicitly in the text of the book.

The profile of the captain matches that of Hitchcock. This must be where he made his appearance.

The long footnote in the Truffaut/Hitchcock book does not mention The Trouble with Harry. I looked it up right after seeing the film and not being able to find Hitchcock in it. I wonder if he was there or not? Jan Edler cmcl2!edler (New York University) edler@nyu-cmcl2
