The composition is brilliantly theatrical: Hitchcock's iconic profile presides over the chaos while a blonde woman in green, arms raised in desperate defense, screams as dark birds descend in an ominous swarm. The director's own quote, promising 'the most terrifying motion picture I have ever made,' sets the tone for what would become one of his most enduring works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daybill format, unique to Australian theatrical exhibition, presents this imagery in an elongated vertical composition that emphasizes the downward menace of the attacking birds. The poster also serves as a historical document of Tippi Hedren's screen debut, prominently billed as 'A Fascinating New Personality' in an inset portrait.
