I was a little boy when this film first came out. I saw it with my Mom and sister and a friend at the drive-in. I didn't understand it all. Sean Connery is so sexy and powerful in this film. He was just a breath away from becoming a superstar in James Bond films. Tippi Hedren is excellent. She gave a remarkable performance. Louise Latham who plays Marnie's mother was outstanding. (she was a young woman who played older).
This film is a psychological thriller. Sean Connery is bent on understanding what happened to Marnie to cause her to become a thief, liar, and frigid. Originally, Grace Kelly agreed to do this film. She was then Princess of Monaco and decided to come back. Then she changed her mind. Hitchcock gave Tippi a big chance but began trying to control her, run her life, and sexually harassed her. She did not give in to his sexual advances and he ruined her career. He had her under contract. She received marvelous film offers and Hitchcock turned them all down and would not release her. She should have sued.
