Tippi Hedren & Suzanne Pleshette smoking - "The Birds" (1963)

[@capitanfuturo594]

Suzanne Pleshette was so beautiful woman.

[@brandonallen3808]

Bob Hartley was a lucky guy.

[@mikeowen7526]

I can imagine Annie and Melanie getting together They are both gorgeous women and the sparks between them is magic 🥰

[@sylvialupehernandez9154]

Who says blondes have more fun.

[@trinab9612]

It looks like Suzanne is checking her out

[@EOCC13]

Hedren magnificent in her debut.

[@Tomatohater64]

One great actress and one "should-have-been" great actress. I had the pleasure of meeting Suzanne Pleshette once in Pittsburgh; we accidentally bumped into each other. We talked for almost 30 minutes and she was genuinely one of the nicest people I ever met.

@ Stephen Prusz You are so fulla crap SMH

[@ZeeNastee]

Apparently she was horrible to with with, though.

[@Tomatohater64]

@@ZeeNastee with with? Bob Newhart and the entire cast of the show adored her, which is readily apparent.

[@ZeeNastee]

@@Tomatohater64 Others that she worked with, including The Birds. Hitchcock couldn't stand her, for example.

[@Tomatohater64]

@@ZeeNastee I have no knowledge of that. What I know with 100% certainty is that she treated me, a total stranger, with tremendous respect. She was kind, funny, and genuine. Sorry to hear you have such a negative opinion of her, but I'll always admire the woman and her work.

[@axd0045]

Suzanne was my favorite actress in this movie

[@Calers-gu1ib]

Watching this on TV right now I suddenly realized that I didn't notice years ago how much Suzanne looks like the Disney's Annette Funicello in this movie

[@kaaioTeixeira]

the chemistry was so much better than w Mitch 😭

[@CarrollDeanJones1931]

Unfortunately, cigarettes were what did Suzanne Pleshette in in reality. Wishing she were still here! 🙏

[@trwent]

Tippi was pretty, but Suzanne was simply stunning. One of the most luscious women who ever lived; she reached the height of her beauty when on The Bob Newhart Show back in the 70s, when she was in her mid-30s to early 40s. Unfortunately, her heavy cigarette smoking led to her death from lung cancer in 2008 at age 70.

[@ren7ee]

You can see the sparks flying. 😊

[@hugofolcini8394]

so nice, as always tks so much!!!!!

[@brandonallen3808]

No wonder Bob Hartley would hurry home. Suzanne Pleshette is so beautiful. She was also the American voice of Yobaba in Spirited Away.

That last scene: classic!

[@jonathanneil5901]

Pleshette's voice alone was a work of art.

[@jimvandenberg2931]

Rreflected on her cancer-filled lungs!!!!

[@radamik]

The interactions between the characters are what make this movie for me, the bird attacks are just incidental. Each major character is somehow introspective and each seems to have a yearning for something more in life. Curious how Annie moved to Bodega Bay to be near Mitch, yet he lived in San Francisco 5 days a week so not sure what the move was about except to possibly to be part of his family life as if she had married him. Kind of strange.

[@jackcarl2772]

I think you are probably correct about the motivation for the move, thank you for this insight.

[@MVR326]

Very well said. However, as the complex tensions between the characters unravels , the bird attacks intensify, and very often they seem to be where Melanie is, almost as though she is their main target, hence, the final scene in the attic when Mitch and his mom try to rescue her, notice how none of the birds fly out into the hallway, almost as though this particular attack is focused on Melanie. There is a certain amount of truth, when the woman in the restaurant says ''They say when you got here, the whole thing started'' Truly a brilliant film

[@lloydsarnowski6986]

It's called "stalking" I believe.

[@flashdimenson]

one theory that you hear sometimes is that Annie is Cathy's real mother, which would give a stronger motive for why she sacrificed her life to save the girl and why she followed Mitch out to Bodega Bay in the first place.

Ciao zia Antonietta buona domenica pomeriggio e buona seconda domenica d'Avvento grazie zia per gl'auguri per oggi che è il mio onomastico San Giulio

[@rosegold5720]

this actually passes the bechdel test wow

[@smokinginmovies8707]

May I ask why?

[@rosegold5720]

@@smokinginmovies8707 it's because it has more than one female character in the movie, the females actually hold a conversation with each other, and the conversation isn't about a man. those are the checklist items and this movie passes, surprising when most films traditional and modern don't pass this seemingly simple test (that stems from feminist film theory)

[@ZeeNastee]

If anyone actually takes that stupidity seriously

[@charlesdexterward9514]

She looks older than when she played in a rage to live. And if I'm not mistaken that movie was 2 years after this month

Ciao zia Antonietta

[@mkaplan1383]

She was 28 in this film. Too bad she smoked for years and my grandmother suffered the same fate as her. It doesn't matter if you stopped smoking it will kill you sooner or later and it all starts on the first puff.

[@nonsuch3419]

But all hot women in the 50s and 60s smoked- it added to their allure.

[@dnds4]

@DisneyTimeLord Suzanne was, in fact, 25 when she filmed this, which makes your point all the more poignant.

[@trwent]

​@nonsuch3419 Absurd. Smoking is dirty and disgusting, and above all, NEVER sexy!!
