Vertigo (1958) - Hitchcock's cameo

Hitchcock's cameo in Vertigo (1958) occurs about 10 minutes into the film.

Whilst we wait for Scottie (James Stewart) to arrive at Elster's shipyard, Hitchcock walks across from left to right carrying what appears to be a bugle case. The scene was shot on the Paramount lot on Thursday 19 December 1957, close to the studio's prop department.
