Marnie

Marnie

Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery stars in this psychological thriller. 1964. Director: Alfred Hitchcock.

Marnie Edgar (Tippi Hedren) is a woman with an unnatural fear of men, thunderstorms and the color red. She's also a bit of a kleptomaniac. As if that weren't enough, she changes her looks and give false identity pretty often.

She gets her self employed at a company, steals the money that the company has in a safe, and then leave. But even though she may call herself Margaret Edgar or Mary Taylor, she's still Marnie. The same troubled Marnie.

When Mark Rutland (Sean Connery), the owner of a large printing company, recognizes Marnie as a thief from another office, he blackmails her into marrying him after tracking her down when she has robbed him too. But her phobia is causing great trouble, how long will it take before she'll try to end it all?

Because I don't find Tippi Hedren so especially good as an actress, which is also the case here, this movie isn't as good as it could have been. Sean Connery is good enough to make this movie more thrilling then it would have been with a less interesting actor.

Sometimes, I don't understand where this movie will lead. What's the thing that has to be solved? But in the end, it's rather exiting. Not the the church tower scene in Vertigo, but exiting enough considering the earlier parts in the movie.
