National Alfred Hitchcock Day is annually celebrated on March 12th. It provides a wonderful chance to celebrate the life, times, and work of this world-renowned filmmaker. Alfred Hitchcock is best known as the master of suspense. His career is often divided into four periods: the silent period, the British period, the Hollywood era of the 1940s, and his most artistically successful period – which took place during the 1950s and early 1960s.

The Birds is a 1963 American natural horror film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and introducing Tippi Hedren in her film debut.

Loosely based on the 1952 short story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier.

In the film, a wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people.
