Secretary Marnie (Tippi Hedren) has been able to pursue her kleptomania with impunity, go into hiding after every theft and change her identity. When she tries to steal from her new employer, publisher Mark Rutland (Sean Connery), he catches her in the act. But Mark does not report her but forces her to marry him. Little does he know that Marnie has deeper problems.
Tippi Hedren was Hitchcock's favourite for the recurring role of the "beautiful, cool and opaque blonde" in his work after Grace Kelly had turned her back on him. With “Die Vögel” she achieved world fame under his direction, but when she did not return his private interest, he ended the collaboration after “Marnie”.
“Marnie” is also Hitchcock's last film together with three proven collaborators: the composer Bernard Herrmann (whose music he rejected for his next work “The Torn Curtain”), the cameraman Robert Burks and the editor George Tomasini.
“Years later, 'Marnie' exhibits an intimate and strange attraction that is unique to Hitchcock's work. The lack of structure and the dreamlike, almost hallucinatory nature of the film make it possible for the viewer to empathize with his tormenting emotions. In contrast to his other works, the film consumes itself in an open desire for love. ” - Donald Spoto
