The Birds

Alfred Hitchcock (director)
Evan Hunter (screenwriter)
Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy (starring)

Universal City: Universal Pictures, 1963. Vintage borderless reference photograph from the 1963 film, showing director Alfred Hitchcock and screenwriter Evan Hunter walking along the pier which would be used later in the film for Melanie Daniel's (Tippi Hedren) visit to the Brenner farm, with what appears to be Hedren herself visible to the far left, in a fur coat at the end of the pier. With manuscript ink annotations on the verso.

Hitchcock's last great film, a grim psychological study, made all the more terrifying by the lack of motivation assigned to its violence.

Shot in various locations throughout California, including Bodega Bay, Bloomfield, Valley Ford, the Venice Canals, and Union Square in San Francisco.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
