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 The poster also serves as a historical document of Tippi Hedren's screen debut, prominently billed as 'A Fascinating New Personality' in an inset portrait. Printed by Robert Burton in Sydney for the film's Australian release, this piece represents both a pivotal moment in Hitchcock's career and in the development of special effects-driven horror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of vintage Hollywood thriller material, this daybill combines the prestige of Hitchcock's brand with striking visual impact and the regional distinctiveness of the Australian format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.0\" x 13.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Conservation mounted on linen.
