I haven't watched it yet, but according to a website, Alfred Hitchcock's cameo appearance in "Rebecca" is:
Walking near the phone booth in the final part of the film
just after George Sanders makes a call.

How much is a ceramic figurine worth?
As you are reading, when you get to the part where the main character breaks a valuable figurine, and you wonder just how expensive could a little ceramic figurine be worth...
Here is a link to a Hummel figure that currently sells for $1400! A 9" figurine! So yes, if you broke one of those, you might hide it!
