Marnie 1964

     Mark Rutland gives a nod when Marnie is interviewing for a job at a publishing firm that indicates she should be hired.  He has seen Marnie before and she worked at another company.  He knows she stole money and left that job.  Mark stops her when she steals from this publishing firm.  He forces her marry him instead of running away like she always does.  Mark has a private detective look into her past and report back.  He believes something that happened to her as a child has caused her to steal.  She is terrified of thunderstorms and the color red. 

     Marnie needs a lot of psychological help but she won’t go to a doctor.  I wasn’t sure that Mark’s love and working with her would be enough to help her.  She seems so cool, collected and sure of herself but inside she’s very troubled.  4* (I really liked this movie)

130 min, Drama directed by Alfred Hitchcock with Tippi Hedren, Sean Connery, Martin Gabel, Louise Latham, Diane Baker, Alan Napier, Bob Sweeney, Mariette Harley, Bruce Dern, S. John Launer, Meg Wyllie.

Note:  Imdb 7.2 out of 10, 82% critic 73% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon 4.3* out of 5* with 361 reviews.

Special Note:  I saw while watching The Girl of 2012 that the last scene in this movie was the first scene filmed.  It is at a train station in San Jose, California.  Tippi Hedren knew when this film was completed that she would be free from the grip of Alfred Hitchcock on her life.
