For your collection, a thriller by the pioneer of auteur cinema, Alfred Hitchcock, revealing the virtuosity of the master of suspense form. Melanie (Tippi Hedren) meets Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), a lawyer she likes at first sight, by chance in a San Francisco pet shop, and is soon on her way to the seaside town where Mitch spends his weekends with his bossy mother and sister. Once in town, the woman is attacked by a seagull - and this is just the beginning of the mystery. Attacks by aggressive birds become more frequent, and the winged birds behave more violently. Why have birds declared war on humans?
