The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (Italian: L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo) is a 1970 giallo film directed by Dario Argento, in his directorial debut. The film has been credited with popularizing giallo, an Italian genre of thriller developed in the 1960s. It is the first in what has been called the "Animal Trilogy", along with Argento's next two gialli, The Cat o' Nine Tails (1971) and Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1972) (though the three films are connected only by their titles). Written by Argento, the film borrowed liberally from Fredric Brown's novel The Screaming Mimi. The film was an international commercial and critical success. It was released on June 24, 1970.
