Dial M for Murder - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Alfred Hitchcock's cameo appearance is in a black-and-white photograph.
About 13 minutes into the film, Tony shows Swann a photograph from a Cambridge University reunion dinner. Hitchcock can be seen sitting at the banquet table on the left side of the photo, among the former students. This is one of the director's more subtle cameos.
