Description of this Hitchcock The Birds Poster
The Birds is a 1963 American horror thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It is based on a 1952 horror novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier. The film stars Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Veronica Cartwright.
In 2016, the film was deemed “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) is the spoiled daughter of a San Francisco newspaper magnate. One Friday, she goes looking for a bird at a pet store for her aunt. The clerk, Mrs. MacGruder (Ruth McDevitt), leaves for a moment, leaving Melanie alone. While Melanie waits, Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), a successful lawyer with whom she falls in love at first sight, enters the store. Mitch is looking for a pair of lovebirds that he plans to give to his sister for her birthday, and turns to Melanie, mistaking her for the saleswoman. Melanie plays along, until Mitch tells her that he recognized her, as Melanie had been accused in a lawsuit some time ago, and had decided to play a joke on her. The saleswoman returns, and when Mitch asks about the parrots, she tells him that she can’t give them to him right away, but that they will have to wait until the next day. Mitch leaves, and before he leaves, Melanie writes down his car’s license plates, then calls her father’s newspaper and asks one of the employees to find out Mitch’s full name and address. The next day, Melanie goes to Mitch’s apartment with a pair of parrots in a cage as a pleasant surprise. A neighbor tells her that Mitch isn’t spending the weekend there, but in Bodega Bay. Determined to see Mitch, Melanie sets off for Bodega Bay in her luxurious convertible, wearing an expensive fur coat and carrying the cage with the parrots. Arriving at the coast, she goes to the post office to find out the Brenner family’s address. The clerk (John McGovern) tells her that the house is on the other side of the bay and the only way to get there is to follow the road along the coast. But Melanie says she’d rather surprise the family, and the clerk suggests renting a boat with an outboard motor to get there. Melanie asks Mitch’s sister’s name, and the clerk tells her her name is Alice or Lois, but to be sure, she recommends asking at the home of the town schoolteacher, Annie Hayworth (Suzanne Pleshette). Melanie arrives at the teacher’s house, where no one seems to be there. There’s a small sign in a window advertising a room for rent. Melanie is preparing to leave when Annie, a young woman her age, appears. They introduce themselves, and Melanie asks the name of the Brenner girl, who turns out to be Cathy (Veronica Cartwright). Annie offers Melanie a cigarette and, curious, asks if she knows Mitch. Melanie realizes there was a romantic relationship between Mitch and Annie and says she’s bringing a birthday present for Cathy. Back in Bodega Bay, Melanie parks her car and walks to the dock to board the motorboat she rented. A fisherman (Doodles Weaver) helps her off the dock onto the boat and, struck by Melanie’s elegance and the cage in her gloved hand, asks if she knows how to drive a boat. She says yes and sets off without a problem. As she approaches the Brenner family home, Melanie turns off the engine when she spots Mitch, who is heading toward a nearby garage. She then begins rowing to the dock, planning to surreptitiously leave the cage inside the house and return to Bodega Bay unseen. She succeeds and returns to the boat, walks away, and crouches down, waiting to see the effect of her prank. Mitch returns to the house and, after a few minutes, rushes outside to look for the mysterious visitor. Melanie laughs at her own joke and leaves by boat. Mitch sees her from a distance, goes to get some cufflinks, and while looking at them, spots Melanie, then takes the car and goes to join her at Bodega Bay. Back on the dock, Melanie waits for Mitch to arrive when a seagull suddenly attacks her and wounds her forehead, leaving her bloodied and shocked. Mitch rushes to her aid and takes her to a nearby restaurant, where the owners, Deke Carter (Lonny Chapman) and his wife Helen (Elizabeth Wilson), give her cotton and disinfectant for the wound. Melanie is invited to Brenner’s sister’s birthday party, but faces the suspicions of Brenner’s mother, Lydia, who sees Melanie as a usurper of her son’s business. During the birthday party, which is held outdoors, Melanie grows closer to Brenner, but a group of seagulls burst in and attack the children. From then on, the birds’ behavior becomes increasingly bizarre, until Bodega Bay is thrown into chaos, with explosions and bird attacks in the area. Melanie, Mitch, Cathy, and Mitch’s mother are locked in the Brenner family home, where they are attacked again. A long time passes before Melanie hears several noises coming from the attic. When she enters and shines a lantern, she sees the broken ceiling and several crows on an old bed. The birds attack her, but Mitch pulls her out of the attic and blocks the door. Melanie is in shock, and Mitch decides to drive her to Bodega Bay Hospital in his car. Mitch leaves the house and manages to get to the garage, despite a peck on the legs, but without serious consequences, by pulling Melanie’s car into the driveway. They all get in the car, and Cathy asks Mitch if she can take the lovebirds Melanie gave her. Finally, the film ends with the car moving slowly across what looks like a ground covered in birds.
