 Tony Lee Moral questioned the accuracy of events depicted in the film , particularly their chronology ( which does not tally with his research into the production archives of The Birds and Marnie ) : " Why for example would Hitchcock offer Tippi the coveted part of Marnie on June 7 , 1962 , during filming of the sand dune scene in The Birds , only to deliberately attempt to physically harm her ... by smashing the glass telephone booth , which was filmed on June 12 only a few days later ?
