Marnie 1964
This is said to have killed the career for Hitchcock,
buts its the best of his Physco- Dramas film and one of the most experimental
The beautiful Marnie Edgar(Tippi Hedren) is a first-class bookkeeper and the apple of her employers' eyes. She happens also to be a compulsive thief who has taken her last employer, Sidney Strutt, to the cleaners before disappearing into thin air.
But with Mark Rutland (Played in an silky smooth stalker by Sean Connery) she attempts robbery once too often. He forces her to marry him in a bizarre act of sexual blackmail , and out of la weird sort of predatory obsession for her uncovers the mysteries of her past that contributes to her penchant for taking other people's money.
Marnie Failed for a Myriad of reasons at the box-office at the time and changed Hitchcock from being the leading Master of Suspense to Falling behind countless copycats ,creating inferior versions of "Spellbound" ,"Psycho", and "North by Northwest" throughout the 1960's and Beyond.
This should however not put you (the viewer) off as this is one of the best physiological studies in film of all of the 60's bare none !
You Will See Red!
