I am a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies. I will even go so far as to say that Rear Window, which is on the AFI’s top 100 list, is my favorite. But after seeing The Girl,a movie based on the supposed events that occurred when Tippi Hedren was hired for The Birds, I was taken aback. How can someone who’s known to be a cinematic genius be so cold, calculating, and predatory? And why would Hedren put up with it? No matter what you believe regarding Hitchcock’s character, it’s fascinating to see how the relationship between Alfie and Tippi crashed and burned. Plus, Sienna Miller’s portrayal of Tippi Hedren is spot-on and definitely worth noting. The Girl is available to Hitchcock fans on our new books and DVD shelf.
