LAKEPORT, Calif. – Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” screens at the Soper Reese Theatre as part of its Classic Cinema Series on Tuesday, May 13, with show times at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.

This suspenseful film, made in 1963, is set in Bodega Bay and made the tiny coastal California town famous worldwide.

In classic Hitchcock style, the tension builds slowly, beginning with a small, unexplained quirk in bird behavior until eventually the attacks become widespread, violent and life threatening.

The movie marks the screen debut of Tippi Hedren. It also stars Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy and Veronica Cartwright.

Entry to the film is by donation.

The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, telephone 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com .
