Title: Marnie
Product review: Marnie is filled with many trademark Hitchcock elements and images such as duality, significant use of the colors yellow and red, intellectural metaphors, swirling vortex, spiral hairstyles, and the quintessential Hitchcock icy blonde (Tippi Hendron). Hitchcock effectively creates the psychological complexity, sexual neurosis, and pathological criminal behavior of Marnie. Once again, as he did in Psycho and Notorious, Hitchcock parlays the crucial role of a domineering mother in this film. Marnie is not a "whodunit" but a "why-is-she-doing-it" type of film. Sean Connery's character, Mark Rutledge, admonishes the audience that we are "not supposed to get it," when he defends his attraction to a thief and a liar (Marnie). His passionate obsession mirrors the one Scotty had for Madeline in Vertigo. Although the search for love, approval and an attempt at emotional closure makes Marnie different from other Hitchcock films, it is still very "Hitchcock" and well worth viewing.
