About this product

Product Information

In terms of psychological power and innovative visual techniques, MARNIE ranks alongside VERTIGO and PSYCHO as one of Alfred Hitchcock's most exceptional films, though it is less well known than these classics. This thriller, based on a best-selling novel by Wilson Graham, revolves around a pathological liar and compulsive thief (Tippi Hedren) who is befriended by her latest victim, Mark Rutland (Sean Connery). The core of the story concerns a wealthy man who marries a beautiful woman who steals from his business. 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.

  • Classic movie worth watching

    Tippi Hedren was the muse of Alfred Hitchcock. She was a novice actress, yet her screen presence is very compelling in every scene. Even when she isn't saying anything, you get taken in by her eyes and her emotions hidden just under the surface. It was especially revealing to first see the movie "Girl" starring Sienna Miller. It is the biographical story behind Tippi Hedren's short rise to fame and then disappearance back into obscurity. This was partly engineered by Alfred Hitchcock himself who always fancied an affair with all of his leading ladies (yet was never successful). Knowing the full back story of Sienna Millers outstanding movie and acting role only made the viewing of "Marnie" that much more enthralling. In the end, you can't help but root for Tippi Hedren, no matter how much you respect Hitchcock's genius at directing.
