In 2012, HBO mounted its own HBO Films presentation The Girl, in which Alfred Hitchcock was played by Toby Jones, and Tippi Hedren, Hitch’s star in The Birds, was played by Sienna Miller. Imelda Staunton played Alma, the director’s wife. Tonight, HBO presents this rival film, a similarly themed 2012 drama starring Anthony Hopkins as Hitch, Helen Mirren as his wife, Alma, and Scarlett Johansson as Psycho star Janet Leigh. Also appearing here: Jessica Biel as actress Vera Miles and James D’Arcy as Anthony Perkins. This movie has better over all performances, but neither biography goes off without a Hitch.
