The Birds (1963): Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren


     Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, loosely based on a story by Daphne du Maurier, The Birds (1963) is a unique and unforgettable film masterpiece. The story centers on a woman who chases a new beau to a small California town, only to find the place inexplicably under attack by hoards of vicious birds for unexplained reasons. Suspenseful and thrilling, The Birds showcases Hitchcock at the top of his Horror skills, and the film proved to be hugely influential. The cast is great, including Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Suzanne Pleshette and Jessica Tandy.
