DVD Reviews of Marnie
DVD Review: A haunting, absorbing psychological story
Summary: 5 Stars
"Marnie" is a classic Hitchcock film that examines the motivations and ultimately the salvation of a deeply troubled young woman, "Marnie" (Tippi Hendren). Sean Connery in his prime plays the other lead, and is absolutely stunning in this role. And of course, the always lovely Tippi Hendren is irresistible as Marnie. Connery shows us his acting range by portraying a loving and vulnerable man, smitten by the troubled and manipulative Marnie.
In classic Hitchcock fashion, every scene in this film is thought out to the nth degree. Every camera angle and every conversation has a purpose; the attention to detail in this film is typical of the approach Hitchcock at his best took with his films. The storyline here never drags, and the compelling storyline combined with superb performances by Connery and Hendren make this film a real treat for the viewer.
Highly recommended. RJB.
DVD Review: Marnie
Summary: 5 Stars
You can not go wrong with the Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock
- dvd title "Marnie." Tippi Hedren (The Birds) plays a good role
with Sean Connery - you will enjoy the pieces that leave a bit to
the imagination.
DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
Hitchcock got a bad rap for Marnie. For some aspects of this film deservedly so. The sets are painfully fake--talk about old Hollywood, and Marnie's ending is mellowdramatic to a fault, almost comically so. Digging up repressed memories and having catharsis is old as the hills, and any therapist or person in therapy will tell you the quickness with which it happens here is ridiculous, even by 1964 standards.
Yet Marinie is artictically redeemed in many ways. The opening titles are done over Bernard Herman's jarring string music. Suddenly, the music stops, and Hitchcock cuts to a close up of Marnie's yellow pocketbook, then goes wide for a long shot of the railroad station she walks in. Hitchcock employs red color filters through the movie: you can tell from these moves he was expermenting, succssfully, with techniques young Europian modernists like Godard were then using. These add suprise to the film, and if the storytelling needs work, the adventurousness of Hitchcock here makes the film worth several viewings.
After the 1-2 horror punch of Psycho and The Byrds, the psychosexual bent of Marnie asks the viewer to make an incredable adjustment, particualarly when the execution is so soap operaesqe and painfully dated. Yet taken for what it is Marnie is visually stunning and the storyline is compelling enough to make you want to watch.
DVD Review: Crime and Punishment...plus Sex...
Summary: 4 Stars
Marni (Tippi Hedren) does the crime (grand theft), but wants nothing to do with marriage and/or sex. She is however, blackmailed into both by Mark (Sean Connery), a wealthy publisher, who discovers Marni's errants ways. Smitten, but puzzled by the extreme frigidity of the icy thief, he assumes, as naturally any man would, that the problem lies with his wife, not him. Well, in this case, he's right! Come on, folks! 'Tis the smoldering Sean Connery we are dealing with! And yet, Marni approaches the prospect of their wedding night with slightly less cheer then a year-long Gulag sentence might have inspired... The twisted events that follow lead to the neat solution of this psychological puzzle, but even then they do not guarantee a happy ending for the newly married.
Though the batteries supplying this odd couple with their on-screen electricity have yet to run out, the naive treatment of psychological disorders dates the 45 year old film significantly. However, once you allow yourself to overlook this shortcoming, you are rewarded with Hedren's supperb acting performance. It is a great shame that following her refusal to continue working for Hitchhock exclusively, ever possessive of his leading ladies, Hitchhock spitefully and succesfully blocked Hedren from the type of movie career this talented actress so deserved. The film is further noteworthy to any movie buff as the accepted start of decline in the quality of Hitchhock's work (still, it was judged more harshly by the director's contemporaries, then it is today).
And yet, as faulty as the technical crafstmanship of the film may have been, I was mesmerized by the on-screen chemistry between Connery and Hedren. I have re-watched "Marnie" numerous times with enjoyment and consider the DVD a worthy purchase...

You could call this one Hoot Along with Hitch. With the possible exceptions of Topaz and Family Plot, this is Hitchcock's cheesiest movie, visually and psychologically crass in comparison with a peak achievement like Vertigo--although it shares some of that film's characteristic obsessive themes. Sean Connery, fresh from the second Bond picture, From Russia with Love, is a Philadelphia playboy who begins to fall for Tippi Hedren's blonde ice goddess only when he realizes that she's a professional thief; she's come to work in his upper-crust insurance office in order to embezzle mass quantities. His patient program of investigation and surveillance has a creepy, voyeuristic quality that's pure Hitchcock, but all's lost when it emerges that the root of Marnie's problem is phobic sexual frigidity, induced by a childhood trauma. Luckily, Sean is up to the challenge. As it were. Not even D.H. Lawrence believed as fervently as Hitchcock in the curative properties of sexual release. --David Chute
