Marnie

Pros: Fascinating Psychological thriller, with all the right elements

Cons: Tippi shows little talent for acting, but hey..did she need to?

The Bottom Line: This is one of Hitchcock's treasures, not really appreciated in its day. Try it and see what you think!

Review: Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie is based on a Winston Graham novel, adapted for the screen by Jay Presson Allen . Like all of Hitchcock's work, it stands as a work marked primarily by it's differences from anything else being filmed at the time. It goes a...

Pros: Connery, Hedren and Louise Lathem.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: Interesting film that begins as a suspense, then slowly shifts into a psychological study that ultimately develops into a unique love story.

Review: I've come across two shops over the last several months- both with an ever flowing traffic of new and used dvd's and VHS that have had a dramatic effect on my wallet/paycheques. Still- the deals are too good to pass up and the collection is filling with ...

Pros: Sexier than most Hitchcock films and one Hitchcock fans will love.

Cons: none

Review: If you haven't seen Alfred Hitchcock's "Marnie", I advise you to rent or buy this movie.

It is an absolutely amazing psychological thriller starring Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery.

Tippi Hedren plays Margaret (Marnie) Edgar...

Pros: THOROUGHLY MESMERIZING MARNIE: ENTERTAINING,ENGROSSING AND ELEGANT

Cons: TRULY MISUNDERSTOOD MARNIE: OVERSHADOWED AND UNDERVALUED

The Bottom Line: WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. MY FAVORITE HITCHCOCK MOVIE - AND PROUD!

Review: MARNIE IS A GREAT MOVIE EVEN IF IT'S NOT A PERFECT FILM.

IT'S EASY TO GET WRAPPED UP IN THE TECHNICAL "MISSES" AND THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES "MISSHAPS" ONLY TO FORGET HOW ENTERTAINING THE FILM - MOVIE - IS. IT DELIVERS THE TYPICAL HITCHOCKIAN...

Pros: Riveting

Cons: One or two dragging moments

Review: As director, Hitchcock made many wonderous tales come to life on the screen but Marnie is one of his best.

Because of a childhood tragedy Marnie became, in her later years, a blatant liar and a thief. Although the advertisements and trailers...

Pros: Some good suspense scenes

Cons: Lots of dead time and unproductive psychobabble

The Bottom Line: Less than the sum of its parts, Marnie is the capstone to Hitchcock's decades long obsession with the cool blond. For fans only.

Review: Marnie (1964) The fifties and sixties were Alfred Hitchcock's most productive period; the era of the cool blond and the various psychological and sexual problems that the human animal can manifest. Marnie was the last of this series and ...

Pros: The Hitchcock touch is very evident...

Cons: The psycho-sexual dialogue is very dated

Review: Alfred Hitchcock is the reason I went to film school. ‘North By Northwest’ is the first film I remember watching on the big screen. It was this film that made me fall in love with the magic of filmmaking. It was this film that made me eagerly seek out...
