MCT:October 3, 2008Pretty good look at psychoses of childhood traumas and whatnothaveyouthere. However, not as much greatness as could have been had given Hitchcock + Connery.

There's just something about Tippi Hedren that's beautifully detached. You get the sense that she has some remarkable inner warmth but she never lets you see it. Just a hint, here and there, of it's existence. And it's not just her character here in Marnie, she projected the same odd vibe in The Birds. Whatever it is that she has, it suits her role here very well.
This is far from my favorite Hitchcock film but I never tire of watching it. To me, even Hitch's bad stuff is still pretty good. -

Unconventional Hitchcock, Marnie is a very lopsided flick which seems downright absurd at points and utterly brilliant otherwise. Thought far from being one of the classic Hitchcock movies, Marnie is still a very engrossing watch.

Un de ces films d'Hitchcock où l'on se prépare à une déception, à une réalisation dont la grandeur n'atteint pas celle du nom, et où l'on se retrouve vite charmé par l'inattendu. D'ailleurs, un de ces rares films d'Hitchcock où le principal protagoniste est une femme (Tippi Hedren) qui, d'ailleurs, livre une performance à tout casser, nous faisant vite oublier l'éloquence d'un acteur comme James Stewart.
Loin d'être le meilleur film d'Hitchcock, toutefois, puisque l'histoire se base beaucoup sur les sentiments que ses autres films, technique intéressante mais à laquelle les amateurs préfèrent toutefois le bon vieux traditionnel suspense. -
MCT:June 14, 2008Very suspenseful and the two leads, Connery and Hedren do a very good job. The ending is fantastic and shocking and many scenes are very suspenseful and pulled off very well. it's Hitch. Few other directors can pull it off like he can.
The run time is rather slow for this film and you really notice the length. But other than wthat, we have ourselves another Hitch classic. -
MCT:June 12, 2008Hitch made some real hits in his day, but this was not one of them. the storyline was ok--the ending was ALMOST disturbing. unfortunately not even the Master's direction could save the bland writing and mediocre acting, though the editing and cinematography were quite good. overall a film that can compare to the other great suspense thrillers as the film that "almost made it, but just fell short"

Interesting film. Odd combo of Sean Connery and Tippi Hendren makes an amazing film-leaving you contemplating the outcome up to the last scene.
-
MCT:April 8, 2008
So overall a good film but it seemed to lack the classic Hitchcock. The one thing that did bother me was the way, Tippi would act when something would happen to her. She overreacted it completely.
-

Both Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery do very well in this movie. It's quite entertaining, very suspenseful, and just a good thriller overall.
***SPOILERS***
The best scene was when Marnie was stealing from her current employer, and to the left of the screen we can see a janitor. Only Hitch could do a scene like this. -
MCT:March 4, 2008
Weak story, but has been the topic of many a symbolism seminar. Especially wild sexual symbolism going on.

It's alright like. The girl who plays Connery's sister-in-law (Diane Baker) is extremely cute in this though.

Was an intresting film. I liked it. The acting was really good. I found it to be a tade bit predictiable, but then again i didn't see it in the 60's when it was made. I bet it wasn't preditiable then. But was good over all.

Although this Hitchcock effort was overlooked and regarded as a failure during its theatrical run, there's more to 'Marnie' than what meets the eye. Another of Hitchcock's psychological thrillers, Tippi Hedren plays Marnie Edgar who has many alternate identities as she moves from place to place, planning to steal substantial amounts of money from wealthy men. She applies for a job at a publishing company run by Mark Rutland (Connery) who recognises her as the one who stole money from one of his business partners. But instead of turning in Marnie, he waits until she commits the crime before confronting her. Hoping to bury her crimes, Mark forces Marnie to marry him, and succeeding this marriage Mark tries to uncover the mysteries surrounding her past and her strange erratic behaviour. A good use of colours much like 'Vertigo' gives this a great touch. It's not Hitchcock's best, but this production is pretty good and Connery delivers a terrific performance. Worth seeing.

A fascinating portrayl of the mind of a compulsive thief and pathological liar and her relationship with the man who loves her...but whom she despises...or does she?
-
MCT:October 7, 2007
Oh! How I love this movie! Definatly worth seeing. Everything's just great, acting, script, everything. And plus it's Sean Connery. I mean need I say more?

Absolutely EXCELLENT! A psychoanalytical taming of the shrew with an amazing cast! Tippi is an absolute vixon at playing a woman who is tormented by an unconscious past, acting out in many antisocial ways. FABULOUS! Sean Connery does an amazing job as the man who falls in love with her and will do what he can to help her deal with her neurosis and get out of trouble with the law.
An excellent story and script, well fimed and executed in every way! the special features are also fabulous! :D -

The closest Hitchcock ever came to Vertigo territory again. Strangely compelling and sexually unsettling. Haunting performances elevate this otherwise flawed film.
-
MCT:August 10, 2007I think this just about proves that Sean Connery is an excellent actor outside Bond. At the time when Marnie was released, it recieved bad reviews. Why is a mystery to me. This film has everything you want in a film, and it also possesses that remarkable interest and captivating nature that you associate with a Hitchcock film. Again, the performance of Tippi Hedren was excellent, despite her ongoing row with Mr Hitchcock. The story is both believable and suspending. Alfred Hitchcock is "The Master of Suspense".
If you are a Hitchcock fan or not, you must watch this. This proves to be one of the best of the Hitchcock Collection.
I award this film 10/10. I love it and so will you. -

Some people have a hard time with this movie, but I truly think that's it's one of Hitch's best movies. Not to mention Sean Connery is hot.
-
MCT:June 24, 2007
Not Hitchcock's best by a mile, but a good effort nevertheless - and edgier than everything else I've seen of Hitchcock. Hedren might've been a bit too much for me, but Connery has nothing to envy Cary Grant when it comes to classy Hitchcock men (hey, Grant WAS the first choice to play James Bond after all)

This film is grossly underrated. The story was unique and the acting was exceptional. Over time this film has gained a loyal following including yours truly.
