Alfred Hitchcock made a total of 39 self-referential cameos in his films over a 50 year period (from 1926-1976), the most ingenious cameo appearances in films with limited sets, as in Lifeboat (1944), Rope (1948), and Dial M for Murder (1954). One recurring theme was that Hitchcock carried a musical instrument in some of the cameos.
