THE BIRDS, A film by Alfred Hitchcock, PG-13, 120min
Vacationing in northern California, Alfred Hitchcock was struck by a story in a Santa Cruz newspaper: Seabird Invasion Hits Coastal Homes. From this peculiar incident, and his memory of a short story by Daphne du Maurier, the master of suspense created one of his strangest and most terrifying films. The Birds follows a chic blonde, Melanie Daniels (Tippi
Hedren), as she travels to the coastal town of Bodega Bay to hook up with a rugged fellow (Rod Taylor) shes only just met. Before long the town is attacked by marauding birds, and Hitchcocks skill at staging action is brought to the fore. Beyond the superb effects, however, The Birds is also one of Hitchcocks most psychologically complicated scenarios, a tense study of violence, loneliness, and complacency.
