This may need to be amended. I contend that is mustachioed Hitch sitting next to foxy Betty Compson in a shot from "The White Shadow"(1924). Check it out.

The best one had to be from Topaz. He shows up in a wheelchair, then effortlessly GETS UP! Completely unexpected!

It's too bad Hitchcock has never done a pure comedy movie. He could have diversified just as well as Stanley Kramer did when he made "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."

Thank you for posting this! Made me want to see all of Hitchcock's movies all over again and wonder what age I can show my almost 5 y.o. his first Hitchcock movie!

Hope you are as well as can be!

"Mein Führer! I can walk!" A nice explosion after that (maybe a French nuclear test on a newsreel?) would have been superb.

The best cameos are the ones that showlight him (Strangers on a Train, North by Northwest); that way he's not just an extra, he's THE extra.

FYI. According to video description on YouTube, this compilation is missing cameos from the following films:

Easy Virtue (1927)
Blackmail (1929)
Foreign Correspondent (1940)
Suspicion (1941)
Spellbound (1945)
The Paradine Case (1947)
Under Capricorn (1949)

And the fact that he was able to time his final cameo to appear outside the Registry of Deaths office ... Now THAT's Hitchcockian!
