Marnie [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Tippi Hedren Director: Alfred Hitchcock, Diane Baker, Sean Connery, Tippi Hedren Alfred Hitchcock

Overview

One year after she appeared as Melanie Daniels in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, The Birds, actress Tippi Hedren took on another Hitchcock role in this unusual psychological drama. Marnie Edgars (Hedren) is a scheming young woman who repeatedly finds employment as a secretary and then proceeds to rob her employers. Though she changes her disguise, her new boss Mark Rutland (Sean Connery), a business associate of one victim, recognizes her. Mark proves to be a bit unusual himself and, instead of reporting her to the police, is intrigued by her criminal behavior--as well as her bizarre aversion to touch. Mark slowly uncovers the events in Marnie's past that have caused her antisocial behavior. Taken from Winston Graham's best-selling novel, Jay Presson Allen adapted Marnie to the screen. Allen would go on to create many more unusual female protagonists for the screen and stage.

Editorial Reviews

Long considered a failure, Marnie, the most blatantly Freudian of all of Hitchcock's films is also one of his most fascinating -- a tightly wrought exploration of the director's pet themes. Voyeurism, obsession - it's all here, with a little white-collar crime thrown in for good measure. Marnie (Tippi Hedren), the iciest ice queen in Hitchcock’s gallery of cool blondes, is a job-hopping kleptomaniac whose wealthy employer (Sean Connery) is undaunted, even titillated, by her compulsive thievery. Threatening to turn her in unless she marries him, Connery attempts to cure his new wife of her frigidity and hatred of men. Using the color red to unusual and brilliant effect, Hitchcock takes the viewer on a mesmerizing journey into the mind of his profoundly disturbed heroine.
