MacGuffin - In Hitchcock's films
The uranium hidden in wine bottles in Notorious is a MacGuffin: it is the reason the story takes place, serving to advance the plot. The story could just as easily have used diamonds (which were proposed as an alternative during production [1]), gold or rare wine.
One of Hitchcock's most memorable MacGuffins is the one used in North by Northwest. In this movie, the MacGuffin is the unspecified secret information known by a man for whom Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is mistaken. Thornhill spends the course of the movie trying to find the man without realizing that he does not exist. Both the hero and the villains of the movie are chasing nothing more than a puff of hot air, making this a true MacGuffin.
Arguably Hitchcock's most famous film, 1960's Psycho also has a pure MacGuffin. The MacGuffin is the money that the character of Marion Crane has stolen from her employer. In the end, it could've been jewelry or any number of things. The money was simply a plot device to get her to the hotel run by Norman Bates.
