  • Story:
    Director Alfred Hitchcock is revered as one of the greatest creative minds in the history of cinema. Known for his psychological thrillers, Hitchcock’s leading ladies were cool, beautiful and preferably blonde. One such actress was Tippi Hedren, an unknown fashion model given her big break when Hitchcock’s wife saw her on a TV commercial. Brought to Universal Studios, Hedren was shocked when the director, at the peak of his career, quickly cast her to star in his next feature, 1963’s The Birds. Little did Hedren know that as ambitious and terrifying as the production would be to shoot, the most daunting aspect of the film ended up coming from behind the camera.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The widow of James H. Brown, Sir Alfred Hitchcock's assistant on The Birds (1963) and Marnie (1964), has insisted that the depiction of her husband in this movie is inaccurate and that the information her husband gave to Screenwriter Gwyneth Hughes in an interview before he died in 2011, was either ignored or distorted. His remarks to Hughes on the subject of Sir Alfred Hitchcock had been, in reality, entirely admiring and complimentary. Mrs. Brown has attacked this movie savagely as an insult to a great artist.

Ray Berwick, the bird trainer on The Birds (1963), is depicted as having contempt for Sir Alfred Hitchcock, even referring to him at one point as "the old fool". In reality, Berwick always spoke of Hitchcock with the utmost respect and affection, working with him again on Topaz (1969).

Sir Sean Connery and Louise Latham, who respectively played Tippi Hedren's husband and mother in Marnie (1964), repeatedly told interviewers that they had seen nothing untoward in Sir Alfred Hitchcock's behavior towards Hedren during shooting.

Sienna Miller met with Tippi Hedren, the character she was set to play, at her Shambala Preserve in Acton, California. Sienna spent a day with Tippi as part of her research for the role, and the pair became great friends after the experience.

Timothy Spall and January Jones were originally going to play the leads.

"Alfred Hitchcock: There was a young man from Nantucket / Who had such a large cock he could suck it. / He looked in the glass / And saw his own arse / And broke his neck trying to fuck it."
