The birds is a 1963 American horror film that was directed by Alfred Hitchcock based on the 1952 novella the birds by Daphne du Maurie. It depicts bodega bay, California, which is, suddenly and for unexplained reasons, the subject of a series of widespread violent bird attacking over the course of a few days.
The screenplay was written by even hunter. Though hunter read du maurier’s original novel, Hitchcock told him to disregard it as all he wished to use was the title and the idea of the film
Melanie Daniels ( tippi harden) is a young wealthy socialite who meets a layer, Mitch Brenner(rod Taylor), in a san Francisco pet shop, he was looking to purchase a pair of love birds for his little sister’s birthday, pretending to mistake her for a salesperson, which infuriates her and lead her to inquire as to the reason for his behavior, he mentions a previous encounter with her. Intrigued by him, she finds his address to his house and purchases a pair of love birds to give to his little sister however she uses that as a reason to go and meet him
The birds lacked a covenrional incidentalscore but rather uses sound effects and sparse source music in counterpoint to calculated silences.
