THE FILM
British director Alfred Hitchcock can define not only the "master of chill" but also the father of the psychological thriller.
Marnie , specifically, deals with a theme like that of kleptomania is associated with a childhood sexual trauma and for the times when the movie came out, 1964, created some conflicting opinions and criticisms. The Puritan America hastily considered the film too "itchy" and did not have much success, unlike in Europe, where instead Marnie received a fair success.
The psychoanalytic research, so early and too highbrow for the issues closely related to cinema of the 60s start, right-thinking destabilized some critics, accustomed to a more focused Hitchcock on the thrill and excitement that built on the psychological depth of a single character, particularly of women.

Based on the novel by Winston Graham , Marnie fact, besides being a good psychological thriller, offers one of the most interesting female characters of production "Hitchcock", even if the director has always had an eye for its actresses. Tippi Hedren
here in the title role, embodies the ideal woman so dear to Hitchcock blonde, cold and mysterious. Like Kim Novak and Grace Kelly before her. But unlike the two, Hedren is able to play well his role with his innocent face and apparent on his face impassive.

In a counterpoint all'algida Marnie, we find an increasingly bloody and fascinating young Sean Connery, fresh from James Bond and not yet a star. The determination of his manner and his way of love with absolute dedication and willingness to help this unknown woman in Pietism never expire or saccharine sentimentality, helping to write the history that good dose of curiosity and veiled sensuality CEH does not hurt.
An application to the director Truffaut captures well the essence "What is it that fascinates so the main character of Marnie? This thief That depends on him because he knows his secret and he could hand it over to the police or, more simply because it is exciting to go to bed with a thief? " Hitchcock replied: "They are definitely the two things at once."

The story of the film then focuses on the unusual relationship between the two protagonists and the relationship with her mother, a seemingly cold and hostile toward the dismantling of the way down the drama that plagues Marnie, remain vigilant the viewer with intelligence and involvement.
still experimental use of special effects, such as reversion and flashbacks help the audience to enter and view in the mind of the protagonist in an original, albeit somewhat outdated now showing.
A great psychological and emotional plot created by a filmmaker of which now feels so much the lack ...

THE CAST
Tippi Hedren is Marnie
Margaret Edgar, known as Marnie, is plagued by a recurring dream in his sleep and the terror of the red. But not only is a thief, kleptomaniac and lives of theft and false identity. The former Mrs. Griffith, and mother of Melanie Griffith's best known, plays his role perfectly: icy and brittle, a fraud with the face of an angel. Muse to Hitchcock, worked with him in the movie The Birds .

Sean Connery Mark is
Mark Rutland is the classic man in one piece, self-confident and resolute in the decisions both ways. Its entry into the life of Marnie, even without tax and outlets will be his salvation and his opportunity to rediscover herself and serenity. Sean Connery plays his role well, that part for him very congenial straborderà in future Bond films.

As usual, the director reserves a small appearance at the beginning of the film as a customer of a hotel.

Every now and am pleased to revive old classic black and white or technicolor: they always had a special fascination for me and I have often found most interesting and many modern films of today. Marnie
This in particular is one of my favorite Hitchcock, despite not being among the best of its production and has done even better. But it will be the unusual weave sentimental, it is the aura of mystery surrounding the protagonist, Marnie capture the attention and does not disappoint, offering a story with original features and less predictable. What most fascinates and achievement of this film is what is not said, what you see and not what lies behind the facade of bourgeois respectability is so dear to America 50s-60s.

His familiarity with the hidden depths of the human mind and its ability to dig deeply into the darker sides of reality, have made a Hitchcock film "popular" in the most positive sense of the word. He made it understandable to all what others have unnecessarily complicated language and peppered with philosophies, fit only to a certain audience arthouse .
A psychological thriller in this case could have been intimidating, but in fact the film runs and passionate, arousing the curiosity and interest of the viewer with intelligence and with a touch of romance.
Recommended for those who love Hitchcock thrillers and old style, no special effects and with much substance.
