Yes I agree that was pretty poor acting, I said almost the same thing when I was watching it. What seemed the most worst acting was near to the scene you describe when the women wearing the green dress suit, (she wears it throughout the entire movie what a hoot!) rolls around the living room onto the couch, into the wall....hilarious.

But for it's time Alfred Hitchcock was brilliant, if he were still alive would have liked to see him team up with writer Steven King.

LOL =)

well it was made in 1963 and the special effects weren't very good plus its an alfred hitchcock movie.

in 1963 sfx was a very new thing but it was a classic movie made by one of the worlds greatest directors.maybe before your time.[there is a re-make in production so keep your heads down peeps.]

i'm really scared of birds, but i laughed in that movie because they looked so fake

I hate the birds. It takes about 1 hour for those stupid birds to do something. I didn't even think this film was the frightening.

Cor, how times change, eh? That film, "terrified" me, as a Kid.

People acted differently in those days. If you look at a 50s film it was even worse - actors often did little more than say their lines.

In the bit where Tippi Hedren gets attacked in the attic, the birds were tied to her with threads and were attacking her for real. Hitchcock let the cameras roll because he was a weirdo. He'd been coming on to her in all sorts of weird ways during the shoot, like presenting her daughter Melanie (now Melanie Griffith) with a model of her in a coffin. He was angry that she'd rejected his advances... At least her terror in that particular scene was authentic enough.

On a personal note my mother tried to watch 'The Birds' while she was pregnant with me, and couldn't finish it because she found it too horrifying. Although modern watchers such as yourself and to a lesser extent myself might fail to understand that, her reaction was actually a fairly common one about the time the film came out,

It was made over 40 years ago. Special effects really didn't get much better until the likes of 2001 and Star Wars.

everything about that film is brilliant - a total cult classic

that has to be one the the wrost films i have ever seen! the ending is crap i remember years ago when i was about 8 when i saw it for the first time i started up till 2am to see the end and was so disaponited!
