The Birds

from Films on Trial · host Films on Trial

The Birds is on trial this week. A pheasant surprise or does it make us raven mad? Alex says this horror classic showcases a director at the height of his talent, blending different genres together to make something truly unique. Dave and Mike point out the dated effects, a nonsensical plot and deeply concerning behaviour from Alfred Hitchcock towards his star Tippi Hedren. Mike also reads the synopsis of the film in the style of a crow and there's quiz based on cinematic birds. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/276 Special Guest: Mike.
