    After filming "Shadow of A Doubt" in Santa Rosa in 1948, Alfred Hitchcock returned to Sonoma County in 1961 to find a remote coastal location for his next project "The Birds." He chose Bodega Bay, with surrounding bleak treeless hills, quiet fishing harbor and fog. Based on a short story by Daphne DuMaurier, the original story took place in an English seashore village where murderous birds attacked the local villagers. Evan Hunter, who had written "The Blackboard Jungle" and "Last Summer" wrote the screenplay; Alfred Hitchcock financed the film from his successful television show.
    Never had a director portrayed animals working in unison with intelligence. "The Birds" became the first horror/ fantasy film. Special effects, including mechanical birds, live and wild birds on strings, and optically altered film overlays of birds in flight made this a most frightening film. The fog did not always cooperate, so much of the film needed to be tinted gray. Nearly three years were required to complete work on the film for its release in 1963.
    The 150 year old Potter School behind St. Theresa's Church five miles south of Bodega Bay in Bodega, was vacant at the time of the filming. After Alfred Hitchcock's crew repaired the exterior it was used for several scenes. Today it is a private residence and is sometimes open for tours. The school teacher's house was a façade erected during the filming. The Catholic Church, briefly visible in the film, was made famous when it was photographed by Ansel Adams.
    Many of the shots of the children running from the schoolhouse were done on Taylor Street in Bodega Bay above the Diekmann's Bay Store with the original two story store visible at the bay's edge. Close ups of the running scene were set up at Universal Studios with the children running on a treadmill. Taylor Street is about a half a mile north of the Visitors Center.
    Various restaurant scenes, portions of the gas station fire, and the boat dock scenes where filmed at the Tides Wharf and Restaurant. The actual fire was lighted in a parking lot at Universal Studios with a mock up of Highway One and the Tides Wharf. The fire was also filmed from a helicopter for film footage that was superimposed on a painting of a fishing village. The village center in the movie was a set. The Tides Wharf was completely rebuilt in the 1990's and is located across Highway One from the Visitors Center.
    The ranch house on Westshore Road, part of the Gafney ranch that had occupied Bodega Head for nearly 100 years was used for exterior shots of the Brenner House. The derelict structure, now part of the U.C. Marine Laboratory in the Sonoma Coast State Beach, was repaired by the film crew and used for exterior shots, including the children's birthday party and the end of the film. The house has been demolished, but the ancient cedar trees look much the same as they did in "The Birds." The cedar grove is across the harbor from the Visitors Center and is visible from Highway One.
    The scenes of Tippi Hedren driving her Aston Martin into Bodega Bay were filmed on Bay Hill Road, about a mile and a half north of the Visitors Center. There is a guide book with more information about the filming of "The Birds" available at the Sonoma Coast Visitors Center in Bodega Bay.

    Mr. Attia, Since childhood "The Birds" has been one of my favorite movies and I always wanted to visit Bodega Bay and see if I could identify anything. Tonight at age 59 I'm here in town and sitting in my RV watching your video. I wanted to say thank you!! I looked around town but arrived about dark, a couple things looked familiar, but I wasn't sure. Now, after watching your video I can explore tomorrow and see things well! Again, thank you for your work as I can now fulfill what was one of my personal "bucket list" items. Allan L -

    Fascinating and thought-provoking! The changes in a place over time, the people who are there and change, the people who are now gone. I was born in 1961 so "The Birds" was made during my lifetime. I've never been to California but I enjoy sort of going back in time to my very early years.

    Thank you so much for this video it was amazing, I actually was lucky enough to go to the actual school house that you show in your video many many years ago. I am from Connecticut but moved to Reno NV for 10 years and Reno is so close to California that I went to bodega Bay and found the school house. When I went there was a plaque outside the fence because you couldn’t go in that talked about how the school house with filmed for the movie The 🐦🦢 🦅. I did not realize the entire movie was filmed in bodega Bay this was well before all the knowledge of cell phones LOL otherwise I would have visited all the locations in your video but I at least got to see the school house and I have pictures somewhere of the plaque & the actual school house and the telephone booth thank you again for a great video

    I think this is a superb video, my 2nd viewing. Don't understand why so few views. I liked Bodega Bay better back then, before all the remodeling and demolishing. Happily the school building is still there. The children singing gives a haunting quality to the video, of all that has changed, and come and gone, and will never come again, including the people, since the movie was made, Whatever happened to Mr Attia - no new video in many years?

    This is quite a piece of work you've done. A couple things:
    1) The Tides Restaurant that was used in the film is not the one that is there now. The original burned down. The interiors you show are from the old place that was right on Highway 1, not the new restaurant shown in this film
    2) When Melanie drives off Highway 1 up into the fictitious 'town' of Bodega, uphill from the gas station where the fire was, she was elsewhere. The condos you show here, while located where the scene would have been had they not filmed in another location, was just a field at that point.
    You went to an amazing amount of work to do this wonderful short. Well done!

    I guess the tide was out when you were filming these. (this is marvelous by the way, I'm most impressed. I tweeted it out to my teeny-tiny handful of followers on Twitter. Maybe I'll share it on SpyBook as well.). I wonder if you went on the same day approximately of the year that the shots of Bodega Bay were shot and at the same time, the water level would be similar....if it IS the same approximate time and day then I guess global warming isn't making the shorelines disappear under the extra water from the melting ice caps as much as the matriarchy seems to imagine.... OK, I'll stop with the comments. UA-cam usually excises my comments before any of the channels get them anyway, maybe because of length. Or sheer idiocy =P

  • @paulaharrisbaca4851
    @paulaharrisbaca4851 4 роки тому

    I hope you did "Vertigo" (I know a few people who've done "Shadow of a Doubt" and "Strangers on a Train"....I must see if anyone has done "To Catch a Thief" on the French Riviera) and John Huston's "Moby-Dick", at least the dock scenes, since the ocean scenes are out far enough to sea that it could be anywhere. You know, locally I lived right down the street from the cross on Mt Davidson in "Dirty Harry" and I also used to drive right by Kezar Stadium in the same film, on a daily basis. Makes you feel old when you start seeing places you recall that are gone or are so overgrown with trees and shrubs or are sitting on a now dry area which used to be by a shore or a river or a creek. OK, I sincerely promise that's the last.

    Terrific video. I've been there a few times. Did they move the school building at one point How did those trees grow so large so fast, relatively speaking? It seems as though they didn't, because the church next door is in the same position. So maybe trees do grow fast in that area!

    • @ricksundberg5659
      @ricksundberg5659 5 років тому +1

      The school building is not in Bodega Bay but in the town of Bodega 5 or so miles before Bodega Bay. Crafty editing on the part of the creators of the movie to make it seem as if you could see the ocean/bay as the kids are running. Lived near here my whole life.

    Gee, look how terrible greenhouse gases and excess CO2 is....the trees are HUGE where it was once just empty fields. What a shame, huh? (that's sarcasm, btw. All of California is getting so lush and the trees are growing so much that the neighborhood I grew up in, which was pretty brown except in late winter and spring, is now almost like a deciduous forest. Is that so bad? It is rough on fences and driveways as the trees begin to assert their dominance... =D )
    I only wish The Tides looked like it used to, but even in the 1970's, when I made my mom drive up to Bodega Bay after we had stayed in Russian River overnight back when it was a family resort and not a gay conclave, the place already had changed so it didn't resemble the movie at all)
    Just a overlong observation.
