Film Research Project

Hello, we are a group of film students from Queen Mary University currently undergoing a research editing project for Wikipedia.

Hitchcock's behavior towards Hedren

Hedren has denied that sexual advances took place during filming of The Birds. So why is this still in the article? Likewise all the stuff about hurting Hedren because she spurned Hitchcock cannot be true - as Hedren herself says she did not spurn him (as no advances were made) during the making of this film. So why is any of that still in this article? 2.68.82.235 (talk) 21:32, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
