For the Birds - a Tribute To Alfred Hitchcock

Children in the schoolhouse
Chant a structured, uneasy song
“Risseldy-rosseldy
Mow-mow-mow"
Monkey Bars behind a bench...
She nervously lights a cigarette
Something is about to happen
A single crow lands.

Just watched this again, for the umpteenth time !!! I never tire of Hitchcock films......I have seen each one more times than I can count !! Love what you've done with that scene! (oh.....poor Suzanne Pleshette....not a nice way to treat a schoolteacher !!)...But at least she'll reincarnate to wake up in bed with Bob Newhart !! LOL !!

The kids now a days would love this movie if they'd only watch it... A hard thing to get them to do... to begin with it.

This is fantastic! I absolutely love that movie, one of my favorites. I still can't see more than three or four birds sitting on a wire together without thinking of it.
