Cinematic Insights



My friend, Rob, texts me this today: "I'm watching The Birds, and my thought is not so much on the plot and its theme of complacency, but moreso on the fact that Tippi Hedren, in her day, was very doable."

Very doable indeed. I don't know about anybody else, but I find the name "Tippi" to be intensely erotically charged.

She says she'll "Lick the stamps".
Love the pic, kFC!

Hitchcock thought she was doable too. And when she turned down his advances, he tortured her with the birds. Or so the story goes.

I just read that there was no musical score for the entire film.
"Though composer Bernard Herrmann was a sound consultant for the project, there's not a single bit of musical score in the entire film. What’s even stranger is that you don’t really even notice its absence. Hitchcock manages to work all his magic, build all his tension and deliver all his scares without using a single shred of music to create his atmosphere."
