Alfred Hitchcock Using Sentinel's Seabird Story
Hollywood mystery producer Alfred Hitchcock phoned The Sentinel Saturday to let us know he is using last Friday's edition as research material for his latest thriller.
Hitchcock, who owns a home in the hills near Scotts Valley, had phoned from Hollywood early Friday morning and requested a copy of the paper be mailed to him there.
It seems Hitchcock is now preparing to film Daphne Du Maurier's 10-year-old novel, "The Birds," which ironically deals with the invasion of a small town by millions of birds.
