"lifeboat" where is hitchcock ?

Everyone knows that Alfred Hitchcock always makes some very brief appearance in all of his films. In the greatest, (IMO) of his many films, "LIFEBOAT", there are 9 people in the boat. None of them are Hitchcock. Every bit of the film is shot from inside the boat, yet he does appear. Do you know where ?

I'll give hints only if necessary.

PS: IMO the dialogue is first rate and makes the film entirely believable.

This film is on my list to view as I only learned about it recently when reading an article about John Steinbeck.

Hitchcock did indeed appear in the film, but only as a photograph in a newspaper ad for weight loss.

Bakerman, Years ago, l loved anything Alfred Hitchcock wrote and loved looking for his personal appearance in his films.
I used to watch the short episodes shown in ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’.

I would love to see this film, ‘Lifeboat’ but l can’t find it anywhere.
I couldn’t believe it was made in 1944!

Lifeboat (1944)

Using a story by John Steinbeck as inspiration, master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock stages a gripping World War II drama by cramming eight survivors of a German torpedo attack into the hull of a tiny lifeboat. Among them are a journalist (Tallulah Bankhead), a radio operator (Hume Cronyn) and a woman (Heather Angel) clutching the corpse of her dead baby. But the real trouble starts when one of the survivors (Walter Slezak) reveals he's a Nazi.

Director
Alfred Hitchcock
Starring
Tallulah Bankhead William Bendix Walter Slezak Mary Anderson John Hodiak

Artangel, there are many DVD copies on Ebay and a few on Amazon. It is a keeper and well worth the money. I don't know about the UK but it is also available to watch for free on youtube here in Mexico and the US.
