"It is not 'Psycho', nor do we have a horde of birds flapping about and pecking at people willy-nilly."

"One might call 'Marnie' a sex mystery - that is, if one used such words."

"Marnie was going about her own business, like any normal girl - happy, happy, happy..."

"What would account for this strange behaviour? Has she just realized that she forgot her umbrella?"

"Oh dear, they're at it again!"

I loooove Hitchcock's sense of humour!!!

classic...Sean Connery is more than just 007 though this came out when he was more know as "James Bond" than anything else! Great motion picture!

Sean is the best :)

ALL THE COUNTERWEIGHTS

I love the way he says "sex mystery". it sounds kinda creepy...

I somehow doubt your ability to give any sort of valid analysis on anything at all, let alone female psychology, although your psychological makeup is probably much closer to that of a female. Yes, the facts DO speak for themselves. Now, little boy, please explain to us how Mark "raped" Marnie in this film? It is you who argue fallaciously, I'm a sycophant? I just said in an earlier post that Hitchcock was a creep. But back to the real topic: this was not a rape.

I'm sure you have no problem masturbating to images of women being degraded and defiled in all sorts of ways, women who are TRULY emotionally damaged, have been molested as a little girl, raped, etc., yet you and all of America have no problem using THEIR bodies for YOUR own sick pleasure! But go on, keep telling us all how Mark is an evil rapist, etc. Meanwhile he displays a level of true caring and deep manhood that you bunch of wanks will never grasp or understand. Damn.

[gunslinger7555]

You are alarmingly stupid. Also, your choice of screenname fits you perfectly. Resistance on her part "at some point"? Yes, at EVERY point he makes a move, she resists, and he respects her wishes. However, in the "rape scene" she lays down for him to take her. At no point did he take her against her will, he simply did not realize how severely emotionally damaged she was. Yes, do track it down and watch it again.

Well it certainly is a good thing that you made yourself look bad only on Youtube then, isn't it. After Mark gently puts his robe around her, kisses her tenderly,...she then lays down on the bed for him to take her! Mark is certainly at that time unaware of how psychologically damaged she is, as she tries to kill herself in the morning (no doubt due to guilt and shame brought on by her mother's hatred of men) but he is guilty of nothing but loving her. There was no "rape".

[Jack Bachagalupe]

This is why it's great that YT is anonymous, you can make yourself look bad and no one ever has to know who you are. The fact that you have framed the issue as an either/or is very telling. Consider the possibility that submitting oneself to rape, marital or otherwise, should NEVER be the price of the ever after scenario you described. In terms of Mark, his behavior was deplorable then as now. No means no, and when you realize you are dealing with damaged goods, NO means NO!!!!

I'm not sure if this is correct. I thought he had found out about her childhood AFTER the "honeymoon" sequence. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even try to touch her sexually after the honeymoon, and instead seeks to help her, as he realizes just how deeply troubled she is. I'll have to watch it again to be sure. I am cruel? Tell me, which is more cruel, Marnie living a perpetually tortured existence, dying an old maid, or living with the man she loves, in his mansion, ever after?
