I love inside jokes in movies. This one is about NOTHING as the Hitchcock wiki shows.
Been watching some Alfred Hitchcock movies that I got from the Lady Lake Library. Love the friendly staff there. See one of them very often.

Thornhill's middle initial "O" is widely accepted as being a dig at producer David O. Selznick who added his "O" to distinguish himself from a relative also named David Selznick. According to producer Herbert Coleman, the opening sequence of the film, with Thornhill dictating non-stop to his secretary as they travel across New York to the Plaza Hotel, was an inside joke about Selznick's habit of dictating memos continuously, often with multiple secretaries in tow.[1]
