Stop by Chick Dick Mysteries where Nancy Lauzon is hosting me as a guest blogger today.
My article is on Alfred Hitchcock and the filming of The Birds, how he chose the script, and how he discovered Tippi Hedren.

This month my three mystery trivia books in the Classic Mystery Triviography Series will be released on the 12th.
The Alfred Hitchcock Triviography and Quiz Book,
The Sherlock Holmes Triviography and Quiz Book,
and
The Agatha Christie Triviography and Quiz Book.
Tomorrow is Mystery Trivia Tuesday and I’ll present a trivia quiz on The Birds.
I still remember the chills that movie gave me, and how sad I was when Suzanne Plechette bit the bullet, so to speak. I figured Tippi Hedren would be okay, being the lead actress, but I didn't see Suzanne's demise coming.
I found out recently that Tippi Hedren is Melanie Griffith's mother. You can so tell.
What was really eerie was that there was no musical soundtrack, just the screeching, frenzied sound when the birds were attacking.
