In his most innovative and technically challenging film, The Birds,
Alfred Hitchcock follows the success of Psycho with a modernist,
avant garde horror-thriller, which has spawned many imitators and
triggered the cycle for disaster and man versus nature films. Now
to mark The Birds 50th anniversary in 2013 and the digitally
restored Blu-Ray release, The Making of Hitchcock's The Birds is
the first book-length treatment on the production of this modernist
masterpiece. Featuring new interviews with stars Rod Taylor, Tippi
Hedren and Veronica Cartwright, as well as sketches and storyboards
from Hitchcock's A-List technical team, Robert Boyle, Albert
Whitlock and Harold Michelson, the book charts every aspect of the
film's production all set against the tumultuous backdrop of the
1962 Cuban missile crisis and JFK's presidency. Using unpublished
material from the Alfred Hitchcock Collection, Evan Hunter files,
Peggy Robertson papers and Robert Boyle's artwork, this book will
be the ultimate guide to Hitchcock's most ambitious film. The
Making of Hitchcock's The Birds analyses the film's modernist
underpinnings, from art director Robert Boyle's initial sketches
influenced by Munch's The Scream, to the groundbreaking electronic
score by pioneering German composers Remi Gassmann and Oskar Sala.
The entire production process is analysed in detail, illustrated
with rare behind the scenes production stills and storyboards.
There is also a timeline detailing the film's production to its
release at MOMA in New York, and the 1963 Cannes Film Festival.
