MORE HITCHCOCK. FINALLY!!!!

I think my favorite thing about The Birds is that by the time the shizz hits the fan, you’ve forgotten this movie started out as a romantic comedy 😂

Equality State Of Mind

Classic for the period: Good use of practical effects, poor combinations of close ups and matte paintings. Also, the only major motion picture I've seen from the '50s/early-'60s that didn't make women look completely useless was Marilyn Monroe's least popular film: River of No Return. Tracks, amirite?

I think the shot with Tippi Hedren on the phone with Susan Pleshette in the foreground was done as a “Process Shot”. A rear projection of Tippi Hedren getting the phone, with Susan Pleshette sitting in front of the screen — There was no Green Screen back then.

Such a great movie! One of my favorite Hitchcock movies, so I gotta share some fun tidbits: ~Hitchcock always made a cameo appearance in his movies...and in this one, he was the man walking the two dogs out of the pet store at the beginning. ~For the actual bird effects...there was a mix of real birds and fake birds. So, on the jungle gym, there were some real birds mixed in with a bunch of stuffed ones. Hitchcock said that because you see some of them moving, you assume they all are. When the seagulls are flying straight at the camera, they put meat on the lens, so they would go for that. And I guess the final shot of all those birds was the most difficult because it's a composite of like 11 different shots, with the birds grouped in different spots. ~Gotta give a shoutout to Suzanne Pleshette, who played Annie. Her performance is one of my favorites in the film...she is so wonderfully subtle...she does so much with just a little gesture or glance. ~And it's interesting how you brought up that some scenes felt like theatre...Jessica Tandy, who played Lydia, was one of the most celebrated theatre actors of her time. She originated the role of Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire and was in over 100 stage productions professionally. She is also the oldest actress to win an Academy Award, for Driving Miss Daisy, when she was 80 years old. ~This movie has two connections with the movie Alien. One is an actor with a small role, the one who rents the boat to Melanie at the dock. His name was Doodles Weaver, and he was Sigourney Weaver's uncle. And the second connection is much bigger...and that's Veronica Cartwright, the little girl who played Cathy. She played Lambert in Alien and was also in Invasion of the Body Snatchers! ~For the attack on the house, they brought a drummer on set, who would start a drumroll and raise the intensity slowly so the actors would all be at the same emotional pitch. ~And finally, when Melanie is attacked at the end, that took a week to film. She thought it was going to be fake birds, but they ended up using real birds for the entire scene. So, they basically threw birds at her for a week, and she ended up in the hospital from exhaustion.

Writing a second comment with some Hitchcock recommendations because my last comment was so long, lol. Gotta recommend: Rear Window, Vertigo and Shadow of a Doubt! Also, Notorious is my favorite Hitchcock movie...not "scary", but the tension is so palpable at times. And if you want to see a Hitchcock movie with lots of smoochin', this would be one to watch! ;)

Definitely one of my least favorite of Hitchcock's films and the one where he finally started losing the pretty much non-stop streak of great films since he started. Plus, there's the whole issue between him and Tippi Hedren who he psychologically tormented and later sexually assaulted, all while intentionally trying to ruin her career for refusing his advances (there's even a movie about it, based on a book). From here, just go backwards and watch pretty much all his films, On Rotten Tomatoes, he only has 2 films with 100% ratings, one in the 1930's and one in the 1940's!

Absolute classic Kat...now you have to follow up with the sequel, The Birds 2 - Land's End, 1994......or not ! lol....

Psycho and Rear Window are my two favorite Alfred Hitchcock movies. Tippi Hedren was a real Cat lady. That's probably why the birds didn't like her. In real life, her daughter, Melanie Griffith, and she lived with more than a dozen lions and tigers. I could go for some more Alfred Hitchcock movies. And I have been waiting for you to get back to the classics.

Rear Window is my second favorite Hitchcock movie.

I need a reaction to Malignant so bad

Dan Holder

No. She needs to watch "Birdemic: Shock and Terror" (2010)

Can’t wait to see your Christmas pick this year. Will you be doing a poll? It has to be P2. You won’t regret it 🙂

Got to love the high trust society. Good times.

They didn't have CGI in 63. This was done with composite layering of different films and some kind of color coding, based on a yellow light technique that is no longer used. Edit: Hitchcock borrowed a highly advanced, proprietary technology from Walt Disney Studios called the sodium vapor process (often nicknamed the "yellow screen" process) to achieve the layering of flocks of birds into the frame. He also used trained birds as well of course.

RJ Inkglider

She ended up adopting one of the crows, whose name was Buddy, so I don't think she was only a cat lady.

RJ Inkglider

I love The Birds. Why don't you like it? It's chock full of interesting symbolism and commentary.

RJ Inkglider

Thank you for the detailed background. I was wondering how the actors didn't strike during this film because it's very obvious they were subjected to a lot of abuse by real birds, and I imagine the birds weren't too happy either. As wonderful as this movie is, there's often a dark side to Hollywood that people don't think about, and Hitchcock is no exception. David Lynch explored this dark side in his classic film, Mullholland Dr. I hope Kat eventually gets around to watching it (and Twin Peaks by the way).

RJ Inkglider

I always thought it was split-diopter shot, but that makes sense if it was a rear projection; there's no fuzzy line you normally get with a split diopter scene.

"One woman's creepy is another man's charming." Reminds me of that meme comic about the two guys saying hi to the woman at work. The handsome one gets an "Oh hi!" and the schlub gets the "Hello? Human resources, I want to lodge a complaint." Also in 1963 I don't think people would think much of a gift being left inside the house. It was a high trust society, especially in small villages like Bodega Bay.
