I like the way you think, marianne48, and enjoyed tremendously your avian analogies (even if there were one or two at the edges of which I might peck a bit). They raise an issue spiderwort and I were kicking around in the not too distant past: that of where consciously intended directorial detail leaves off and an instinctual sense of doing what fits without necessarily realizing why takes over. I was also especially struck by this observation: What intrigues me about it is that while it isn't necessarily one I'd fully apply to The Birds, it's exactly the one I've made about All About Eve when the subject comes up (and would be one for another thread, admittedly). But I'd certainly agree that it's the female characters in Hitchcock's opus who drive the narrative. It wasn't the first time that's been the case in his oeuvre, as your Shadow Of A Doubt comments point out - The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca, Suspicion, Notorious and, in a perverse way, Psycho are others - but it was arguably the last. Most of all, though, thanks for an insightful, thought-provoking and entertaining post.

With all those accolades above, there is not much more to write, than I love it too.
