A Look At 'The Girl' Who Caught Hitchcock's Eye (NPR, 20/Oct/2012)
Programme Description
Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 movie "The Birds" is a terrifying story of a seaside town besieged by flocks of birds that viciously attack human beings. As in many Hitchcock movies, it stars a pretty girl who suffers. In that film it was Tippi Hedren, playing the socialite Melanie Daniels. The making of "The Birds" is the subject of a new movie airing tonight on HBO called "The Girl." As NPR's Elizabeth Blair reports, the story is as haunting as one of Hitchcock's own movies.
