    The Birds

    £295.00

    “Nothing You Have Ever Witnessed Before Has Prepared You for Such Sheer Stabbing Shock !”

    Capturing the mounting terror of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, this striking alternative movie poster by Paul Mann places Tippi Hedren at the centre of a dramatic illustrated composition. Swooping birds surround her as smaller scenes depict fleeing schoolchildren and the burning petrol station. Muted greens, bold black lettering and a yellow credits panel evoke the illustrated cinema advertising of the film’s original era.

    Released in 1963 and inspired by Daphne du Maurier’s short story, “The Birds” follows a series of unexplained attacks on the residents of Bodega Bay, California. Starring Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy and Suzanne Pleshette, Hitchcock’s film transforms familiar surroundings into a landscape of uncertainty and menace, remaining one of his most celebrated suspense pictures.

    Printed for the 2022 screening of “The Birds” in 35mm at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, this limited-edition alternative movie poster is hand-numbered 190/200. Presented rolled, flat and unfolded, in excellent condition, it is an impressive display piece for collectors of Alfred Hitchcock, Paul Mann and classic cinema artwork.

    Trivia: The scene where Melanie (Tippi Hedren) is ravaged by birds near the end of the movie took a week to shoot. The birds were attached to her clothes by long nylon threads so they could not get away.
