September 23, 2023… #movieoftheday is The Birds (1963)
“The Birds is a 1963 American natural horror - thriller film , produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock . Loosely based on the 1952 short story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier , it focuses on a series of sudden and unexplained violent bird attacks on the people of Bodega Bay, California , over the course of a few days.
“The film stars Rod Taylor and Tippi Hedren in her screen debut, alongside Jessica Tandy , Suzanne Pleshette and Veronica Cartwright . The screenplay is by Evan Hunter who was told by Hitchcock to develop new characters and a more elaborate plot while keeping du Maurier's title and concept of unexplained bird attacks.
“At the 36th Academy Awards , Ub Iwerks was nominated for Best Special Effects for his work on the film. The award, however, went to the only other nominee, Emil Kosa Jr. , for Cleopatra .
“In 2016, The Birds was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry .” - more at Wikipedia .

NOTE: The trailer itself is very entertaining! I was puzzled and terrified by this move, as a child. What if...?
