Fascinating Photos and Behind-the-Scenes from the Movie 'Marnie (1964)'

Marnie is a 1964 Psychological thriller film starring Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery. Alfred Hitchcock directed the film, and Presson Allen wrote the screenplay based on the 1961 novel of the same name by writer Winston Graham. On a budget of $3 million, the film grossed $7 million in theatres.

The story revolves around an American in Paris who meets a young girl. They have sex without knowing anything about each other and end up in murder. Tippi Hedren perfectly portrayed the role of Marnie Edgar. In his very atypical role, Sean Connery plays a character who is somewhat aloof and calculating, but he brings those qualities out as well as his trademark charm and suavity. As the mother figure, Louise Latham is genuinely terrifying as Diane Baker. Martin Gabel and Bruce Dern don’t have much to do, but they are also great.

‘Marnie’ is not one of Hitchcock’s finest films but one of his most underrated. Hitchcock directs the film with many memorable touches in the final thirty minutes that are typical of his style, while his photography is sophisticated, atmospheric, and, above all, striking. Although Hermann’s score is not quite as good as those for ‘Vertigo’ and ‘Psycho’, it fits perfectly and has a haunting edge. There is wit and intensity in the dialogue in Marnie, which makes the many talky scenes in the novel interesting. Despite its slow pace, viewers didn’t get bored, as there are typically not discussed themes that are dealt with well and in a tasteful way. This film’s final thirty minutes are edge-of-your-seat stuff; it is the best last act of any Hitchcock film before ‘Psycho’. The characters are complex and not easy to relate to, mainly Hedren’s, but all the actors do their best to make them attractive to viewers.
