Other films include the 1947 film ''[[The Farmer's Daughter (1947 film)|The Farmer's Daughter]]'' (starring [[Joseph Cotten]] and [[Loretta Young]]) as well as two [[Alfred Hitchcock]] films, ''[[Shadow of a Doubt]]'' of 1943, filmed and set in Santa Rosa, and ''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]'' of 1963, filmed largely in Bodega Bay and Bodega. ''[[American Graffiti]]'' was filmed largely in Petaluma.
