The Birds

N.p. N.p., Circa 1963. Four vintage reference photographs from the 1963 film, all showing director Alfred Hitchcock on the set. Two with layout annotations in manuscript ink on the versos.

Especially notable is a striking image of Hitch with a wide grin, pointing to the right, surrounded by dozens of birds.

Hitchcock's last great film, a grim psychological study, made all the more terrifying by the lack of motivation associated with 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 to Fine.
