I believe I heard (or read) Janet Leigh say that she actually wasn't on set when most of the shower scene in Psycho was being filmed. I think she said that she was attending some other engagement in New York during the filming, and most of the week that Hitchcock spent filming the scene was with a body-double.

When shooting in the studio, Hitchcock almost always wore a coat and tie, and did so on location as well, unless conditions were uncomfortably warm. He preferred that his senior crew, such as DP Robert Burks in the Marnie photo, did so too. There are photos of him working in shirtsleeves, but they're relatively uncommon.

I don't think the one from Family Plot was staged. May not be surprising about the suit coat, I don't recall ever seeing any photos or footage of Hitch where he wasn't wearing one.

My copy of North by Northwest has a fairly lengthy trailer by Eva Marie Saint remembering all facets of that shoot. She said exactly the same thing. She calls him "the soul of button-down respectability." I think I've seen a photo of him without the suit jacket, when they were filming the crop-duster chase scene, in NbNW. (It may be on that trailer, which I haven't seen for a long time.) That scene was shot outside Bakersfield, California, which can get beastly hot.

Hitchcock in Morocco during The Man Who Knew Too Much 1956, too warm for a suitcoat:  |

From "Torn Curtain" I once saw this picture captioned: Hitchcock tells Paul Newman how to play the scene then Newman tells Hitchcock how he is going to play the scene.   |

These must have been staged. Did they all always wear suitcoats on set? There were stricter dress codes then, for one thing, and also men of a certain prim style (Hitchcock was one of them) liked to dress formally. President Nixon was another example; in his post-presidential years, he was spotted in relaxed situations--strolling near the beach, playing with his granddaughter at a playground--dressed in a suit and tie.
