Hitch's blondes always seem excessively coached to me; even Doris Day couldn't entirely overcome Hitchcock's dominance. But there are moments in THE BIRDS where Hedren's own personality, or at least performance, seems to slip through. She's immensely likable in these moments, which seem very uncharacteristic of Hitchcock's ladies -- leading me to think those contributions were hers more than his. But I don't recall if I liked her as much in MARNIE, nor have I ever been too impressed with her in other works. So perhaps she needed Hitchcock, even if just to rebel against.</blockquote>
