Melanie Griffith is out and about shopping at Barneys in Beverly Hills. The HBO movie, “The Girl,” starring Sienna Miller is about her mother Tippi Hedren’s uncomfortable relationship with Alfred Hitchcock. It’s been playing for the past few weeks, so people are often commenting on it or asking Melanie questions about it.

Suddenly Alfred Hitchcock, who died in 1980, is SO hot that two movies about him are about to be released. The first one by HBO is called “The Girl” and it airs October 20. This one sounds juicier – it chronicles Hitchcock’s obsession with his star of “The Birds” Tippi Hedren, and her struggle to fight off his advances. English actress Sienna Miller plays Tippi and Toby Jones plays the rather repulsive director. (Top photo)
The second movie, a feature film, is called “Hitchcock” and it documents the struggle the director had getting “Psycho” to the screen. Both films take place in the 60’s. Anthony Hopkins is Hitchcock and Scarlett Johansson is Janet Leigh in this movie, set for release on November 23.

SOMEBODY should be up for an Oscar for Best Make-up next year for turning Anthony Hopkins into a convincing Alfred Hitchcock. The contrived resemblance is amazing – how did they get those jowls to look so natural? Hopkins is starring as the legendary director in “Hitchcock” with Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel. The plot is described as a love story (not between Hitchcock and his blonde leading lady) but between him and wife Alma, played by the dependable Helen Mirren, as it happened during the 1960 filming of “Psycho.”
