Movie Reviews of Marnie
Movie Review: For those who are already Hitchcock fans
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are a huge Hitch fan (as I am) then give this film a try, but if you haven't seen many films by Hitchcock you'd be better off having a look at some other films first: North by Northwest in the color category & The 39 Steps/The Lady Vanishes/Shadow of a Doubt for his best efforts in black & white. Mind you, I'm not saying Marnie isn't a worthwhile film, just that its 1960s 'repressed childhood memory screws up an adult life' theme can be a bit much to take at times. Tippi Hedren looks great (as usual) as she plays a bunco lady in this film, lifting cash from a succession of employers when she is not flipping out having seen something red in color. Sean Connery has the misfortune of falling in love with her (for no apparent reason other than her Tippi Hedren looks apparently) and thus sets out to try to help her in any manner he can. She pleads with him in the film "If you love me, let me go," but Sean will have none of that & doggedly persists in his mission (spurred on by what who knows). I know it was typical of that era of film making, having rather fake looking scenes set in cars that are supposed to be traveling on roads, but this film has over 7 full minutes of this as Marnie and Connery's character make believe they are in transit to someplace---7 minutes is a lot of seconds in a film, even when broken up by other scenes. Moreover, Hitchcock utilizes several very fake looking matte paintings as backdrops in this film. Maybe it's just me, but all this just reinforced my feeling that the story was a bit forced as well. It's up to you now. Cheers!
