Universal Pictures: Celebrating 100 Years: The Birds

Comments (0) By Jef With One F Thursday, Jun 14 2012

Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece The Birds is based on a short story by Rebecca author Daphne du Maurier. The 1963 horror classic follows socialite Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) and lawyer Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor); the two are in a budding romance. Suddenly and inexplicably, birds of all species begin attacking humans in mindless rage, trapping people in their houses and killing them. Hitchcock proved himself a man who could create a seething tension and the unexplained nature of the terror makes the movie frightening even to today's jaded filmgoers.
