This film, stars British actor Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger, Snow White and the Huntsman) as Hitchcock. He hires actress Tippi Hedren (Sienna Miller) for his follow-up to Psycho, The Birds.
The film about Psycho came out just one month later with Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock.
So, the question naturally arise: with two Hitchcocks in a month, one in theaters and one on HBO, who is the better Hitchcock?
One thing is certain. I have lost all respect for the real Alfred Hitchcock. He is an asshole.
Hopkins made the better character. Mirren was certainly the better Alma. Miller was fantastic and deserved her BAFTA.
Hedren never achieved her stardom.
