"The Birds"

Even though there is no music in the film Bernard Herrman is listed as sound consultant for the electronic and bird sounds used throughout. This is one of Hitcock's scariest films, with one nerve wracking scene after another. Newspaper tycoon's daughter Tippy Hedren travels from San Francisco to Bodega Bay to play a practical joke on attorney Rod Taylor. Almost as oon as she arribes ahe and others are subject to random and increasingly fatal attacks by birds.
Jessica Tandy plays Taylor's mother and child star Veronica Cartwright his young sister. Suzanne Pleshett plays a school teacher who rents a room to Hedren. The film contains by far the most special effects used in a Hitchcock movie. Hedren was injured in one of the bird attacks.
