With the possible exceptions of Topaz and Family Plot, this is Hitchcock's cheesiest movie, visually and psychologically crass in comparison with a peak achievement like Vertigo--although it shares some of that film's characteristic obsessive themes. Sean Connery, fresh from the second Bond picture, From Russia with Love, is a Philadelphia playboy who begins to fall for Tippi Hedren's blonde ice goddess only when he realizes that she's a professional thief; she's come to work in his upper-crust insurance office in order to embezzle mass quantities. His patient program of investigation and surveillance has a creepy, voyeuristic quality that's pure Hitchcock, but all's lost when it emerges that the root of Marnie's problem is phobic sexual frigidity, induced by a childhood trauma. Luckily, Sean is up to the challenge. As it were. Not even D.H. Lawrence believed as fervently as Hitchcock in the curative properties of sexual release. --David Chute Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Another great Hitchcock movie. A very good character study of a frigid, kleptomaniac with a love triangle thrown in to boot. Tippi Hedren is much better in this one than in "The Birds". Rating: - Marnie has issues. Marnie starring Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery is a deeply disturbing drama directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Hedren is completely captivating in the title-role, she is so much more effective in this film than The Birds. I won't give away the ending but expect a creepy and complexed climax. This movie isn't considered a Hitchcock classic but it's definitely worth a viewing, enjoy! Rating: - Marnie is Marvelous!! Good classic Hitchcock film that never loses it's appeal. Why can't all movies have the class that these older films possess? You know there is a romantic quality in the story line without having to endure sexual scenes that are unnecessary. Plan on getting more of these types of films for the family!! Rating: - "The idea was to kill myself, not feed the damn fish" Oh, Marnie, such a wonderful film. Tippi Hedren is wonderful and dynamic as the lead in this film, with a very capable and convincing support crew of Diane Baker and Sean Connery--all this with Alfred Hitchcock directing. I have always enjoyed this film of lying, thieving, psychological childhood trauma, frigidity, and suspense. In fact, I cannot understand why some people dislike this film. Furthermore, I do not understand why this is not considered one of his greatest films (although ... Read More Rating: - Solid After his back to back commercial and critical triumphs of Psycho and The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock decided to go `interior.' By that, I mean he decided to get unfortunately Freudian in his approach to crime, as he had throughout his career. Unfortunately, all but a few of his films suffer from their reliance on the outmoded and simplistic approaches to psychology that he employed. One of them was Marnie, his 1964 color follow up to the two terrific films mentioned at the start, starring his The Birds female ...
