sallyvonskellington: "nightmares filled with flapping wings" Tippi Hedren.Hedren has spoken often about the harrowing scene where she's attacked in the attic, a scene that took a week to shoot, though it only runs about a minute on screen. Hitchcock insisted on having real trained gulls attack her. They were attached to her by elastic bands tied to the poke hole in her costume. On the last day of shooting, a bird clawed Hedren's eye, and she broke down in tears. Frequent Hitchcock leading man Cary Grant happened to be visiting the set that day, and he complimented the actress, saying, "You're one brave lady."Just finished watching one of my many favorite classic horror film with my baby Serena, One of the many reasons I love this film is Rather than a conventional musical score, the film's soundtrack consisted of a mix of birdcalls and electronic noises from a proto-synthesizer called a trautonium, an electronic instrument Hitchcock had first heard on the radio in Berlin in the 1920s. #alfredhitchcock #thebirds #bodegabay #tippihedren #lovebirds #thehorrorofbirds #rodtaylor
