In terms of psychological power and innovative visual techniques, MARNIE ranks alongside VERTIGO and PSYCHO as one of Alfred Hitchcock's most exceptional films. This thriller,...
more...based on a best-selling novel by Wilson Graham, revolves around Marnie (Tippi Hedren), a pathological liar and compulsive thief who is befriended by her latest victim, Mark Rutland (Sean Connery). Despite his sincere love, dashing looks, and wealth, some deep-seated neurosis makes her emotionally inaccessible, causing him to search her past for an explanation. This is Connery's American film debut, and he portrays his character's fascination with Marnie with a conviction that allows the psychological turmoil of the young woman to emerge. Hedren's performance as the deeply conflicted and emotionally scarred woman walks the fine line favored by Hitchcock, balanced between an icy sexuality and emotional fragility. The director wants to show the audience Marnie's world and fears, so he uses a range of innovative visual techniques--including awkward rear projections, flashes of color, and a menacing atmosphere of storms--to convey her troubled state of mind. MARNIE is one of Hitchcock's most underrated and underappreciated films.

Review of Marnie (DVD) by anonymili

Advantages: one of Hitchcock's most intriguing films
Disadvantages: some of the scenes are blatantly faked

Marnie is one of my favourite Hitchcock movies. It stars the beautiful Tippi Hedren as Marnie Edgar and the gorgeous Sean Connery as Mark Rutland, with support from Diane Baker as Lil and Louise Latham as Bernice Edgar, and was released in 1964. The script was written by Jay Presson Allen and the book (of the same name) from which it was inspired was written by Winston Graham. Alan Napier appears as Mark's father (remember him? He was Alfred in the ... Read review

Sean Connery when young and HOT!
Review of Marnie (DVD) by sunmeilan

Advantages: A much under-estimated psychological thriller
Disadvantages: Quite slow-moving

Introduction Being a fan of crime/thriller/psychological dramas, Alfred Hitchcock films have always appealed to me and I now have quite a collection. This is not one of the most famous of Alfred Hitchcock's films, but I believe it has been under-estimated and should be better-known than it is. The film was first released in 1964. The director Alfred Hitchcock was born in Leytonstowe, England and died in 1980. His film-making career began in 1919, ... Read review
