Robert Boyle papers
The Birds preliminary sketches by production designer Robert Boyle
The Robert Boyle papers span the years 1933-1979 (bulk 1930s-1960s) and encompass approximately 18 linear feet. The collection contains production design drawings, continuity sketches, and pencil sketches. Titles represented include "The Birds" (1963); "Gaily, Gaily" (1969); "It Came from Outer Space" (1953); "Mame" (1974); and "North by Northwest" (1959). Original drawings by Alfred Hitchcock for "North by Northwest," "Saboteur" (1942), and "Shadow of a Doubt" (1943) are of particular interest.
