In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's birthday (August 13, 1899), tomorrow I'm posting a little story which keys off one of the most startling sexual scenes in all of moviedom. "The Birds" is not my favorite Hitchcock film, but the orgasm scene is one of his best. (Originally I thought Hitchcock's birthday was August 23. My memory is decidedly defective at times.)
One of the scariest thing I ever saw on TV was part of a Hitchcock TV show and involved a escaped mental patient, a pair of pinking shears, and a canary.
