Alfred Hitchcock's Cameo: Three minutes into Frenzy, Alfred can be spotted in the center of a crowd, wearing a bowler hat. He is the only one not applauding the speaker. He appears in the same scene a couple minutes later, when the crowd is talking about the new neck-tie victim. Frenzy Cameo

Plot Summary:
Covent Garden wholesale fruit merchant Bob Rusk is an impotent serial killer who strangles women with a necktie. One of his victims is Brenda Blaney, the ex-wife of his best friend Richard Blaney, who becomes a prime suspect. Fearing discovery, Rusk kills Blaney's girlfriend and Blaney is arrested. Escaping from jail, Blaney is followed by the police to Rusk's flat where he's headed to seek revenge for his wrongful conviction of the crimes.
