Description: Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery!Blasted when it was first released in 1964, this misunderstook Hitchcock film has picked up speed along the way and joined the ranks of his other earlier works. Tippi Hedren stepped in as the leading lady when Grace Kelly bowed out for political reasons, and she gives the best performance of her career. This was the last movie to use all of Hitchcock's "team," and the experience and polish that they learned is all exhibited here. Bernard Herrmann's haunting score is lush and adds much to what is going on. I would highly suggest multiple viewings of this film; each time you will catch more and appreciate the journey that Hitchcock takes you on. I will warn you though; even for a 1964 film, it has many adult themes and is definitely somewhat disturbing in light of its two main characters: a frigid kleptomaniac and her determined suitor who is obsessed with taming her. It was a highly personal movie for Hitchcock; he pushes Vertigo even further and goes to areas that would not have been permitted even 5 years earlier. Briefly, the story is of Marnie (Hedren), a beautiful ice-blonde who makes a habit of moving from city to city and robbing her male employer after she has earned his trust. Things change when she gets a job in Philadelphia working for Rutland & Company, a firm run by the handsome and widowed Mark Rutland (Sean Connery). Mark's scheming young sister-in-law Lil (Diane Baker) doesn't like the romance that she assumes is budding between Marnie & Mark. In reality, he has caught Marnie red-handed and blackmails her into marrying him; he believes he can "cure" her of the kleptomania. On the honeymoon, he also discovers she is frigid. The drama intensifies from there...especially once he finds out that Marnie's dead mother (Louise Latham) isn't so dead.
