So this is an HBO TV movie about Tippi Hedren's collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock. I'm seeing the Psycho era biopic film later tonight so I thought I'd check this one out first. Cool to see some of the making of my favourite Hitchcock film, The Birds.

But ultimately they made this relationship pretty black and white and it was constantly in danger of tipping over into melodrama. Unfortunately they aren't really able to take their time and most likely didn't have a budget to show more of the filmmaking side of things.

I think there's a great drama to be told here but this telling was a bit of a let down. I'll see how the other biopic fares tonight.
