What a wonderful film. It's good to know Tippi Hedren, Sean Connery, Diane Baker, Bruce Dern, Mariette Hartley and the incomparable Louise Latham are all still with us.
Surprisingly realistic and candid resolution of what happened that stormy night. Her mother did really love her and want her, but she was very young and traumatized too and she couldn't show Marnie a mother's love.
Great movie thankyou....can't believe I've never seen it before. Connery was great; l found Hedron a little irritating, more so her appearance than her character portrayal but a fantastic film, well ahead of its time in regards to its psychological aspect and its sexual bluntness...*clap! *clap! *clap!
No, I do believe there was meant to be an implication of sexual molestation. It shows him kissing Marnie... that is beyond comforting a young girl's fear of a thunderstorm, and I think there is also a suggestion that he may be touching her (get your hands away from my daughter). But just as with the rape scene earlier in the film, more was implied than shown.
A bit of wry humour from Hitch even in the final line which continues the parallels drawn throughout the film between state authority (e.g the justice system) and marriage relations as a form of subjugation "Mark I don't want to go to jail... I'd rather stay with you" "Had, you love?" :)
that show was a little confusing...ignore this post. I remember this from awhile ago, I was trying to understand all the chaos of it. oh well, it's a movie
such a tragic show. Mark In the movie is quite intelligent to pick up on Marie and goes out of his way to figure out the details of why? His sister in law acts weird as well too. This girl went through a tragic thing watching her mother's abuse, then, at a young age, he takes advantage of her as well. Then mom is trying to save her, but can't, and gets injured, so the daughter tries to save the mom. Maybe Mark should be a doctor, he helped her and her mother.
@h1ybear that's not right, the customer of Marnies mom hasn't tried to abuse her or her mom. It's been a misunderstanding, her mom suggested it although the man just wanted to comfort her daughter. As I understand the movie her mother's been a prostitute. Ain't that right?
Yeah.. I can't quite understand why Mark falls in love with her. She doesn't seem more than average intelligent, but mentally unstable and happy with it, as she refuses any help from anyone. Thats the only thing that doesn't work out for me in the movie. In my opinion she isn't even that beautiful, looks more like a... don't know ... gnawer. No offence to the actress, I like her play. It's just her role.
I'm a romantic at heart so I want to believe that Marnie and Mark had a happy marriage in spite of all that had happened to her. I also want to believe that Mark from the beginning loved her and he was a caring person and wanted to help her.be free of all her emotional problems.she was suffering. I don't condone what he did to her on the boat. by forcing himself on her. He loved her. I love this movie very much and enjoy watching it. Thanks for sharing with us. Vivian
Thank you very much for uploading this. It is one of Hitchcock's strangest films, but with great performances by Sean Connery and Tippi Hedren. I also like Diane Baker!
thank you! i love both connery and tippi here. do they end up loving each other happily ever after or what? i didn't really get the end. is she freed of her copmplexes so she can bear men and the storm and the red color?
Marnie reminds me of Psycho. Both Hitchcock films have repressed children raised by domineering mothers (Lil even says "a girl's best friend is her mother") and Marnie and Norman Bates turn to animals for escapism and expression (horses and birds).. Both people are emotionally blocked from enjoying healthy sexual/intimate relationships and are driven to criminal activity (Bates murders; Marnie steals) although Bates is taken away while Marnie comes to terms with her past.
Am I the only one shocked by the fact that they put the ending as if it were romantic when really Marnie stays with a man who raped her? Yes sure, he helped her, probably because he wanted to appear as the good guy to his own eyes. And of course Marnie's frigidity is also an excuse to his behaviour in the boat, like : "she would never have refused me if she wasn't sick, so I was trying to see if I could cure her"...something like that.
@friendorfoe666 Well, Marnie was damaged psychologically so unless in that position you can't really tell what you yourself would do. She probably believes that she would have slept with Mark willingly had she not been so damaged (overusing this word, I know) because of the incident from her childhood and how it affected her afterwards.
@friendorfoe666 I thinkk in a way it makes sense. It is perhaps just a extremely realistic film, showing that no person is all good or all evil, as movies like to portray people but gray, in between. On one hand Mark put up with more then any man would, helping a girl who stole from him, letting her be mean to him not wanting her to touch him but still bein so determined to help her get better and not go to jail. While on the other he forced him self on her. Showing that people are good and bad

Did anyone notice Edgar Allan Poe references in the film? Hitchcock connected Marnie to Edgar Allan Poe and his characters. Like Poe's characters, Marnie "Edgar" is subject to Psychological terror. The film takes place in New York (Strutt's office), Virginia (Garrod's Stables) and Philadelphia (Rutland Publishing and Wickwind). These are the three places that "Edgar" Allan Poe lived throughout the better part of his life.
The film's climactic scene takes place at Marnie's mother's home in Baltimore, the city where Poe died under mysterious circumstances in 1849. Tippi Hedren played Marnie. Both Tippi Hedren and Edgar Allan Poe were born on January 19.
The story almost suggests that Marnie was getting raped by the sailor and that this was what was going on for years... It was the early 60s and I don't think the studios would allow Hitchcock to get that sordid.
What a phenomenal film, like a Greek tragedy!!! And the thing is, it was all Tippi--Connery was just a lump of solid rock.
For Hitch, it was almost a sappy ending! I hate to say that he lost his "edge" with the advent of color and other more "psychological victim" stories, but my favorites are "Shadow of a Doubt" and "Notorious". "Stage Door" is the third and of course, "The Lady Vanishes", Sabotage", and "Rebecca". rounding out my top 5. "Rope" and it's nouveau camera stylings is insidious and, forgive the pun, taut.
thanks Jc great movie, Michael Tsarion reccomended it. Lotta classic lines, especially in the car, I don't know why he liked it so much.
