     Marnie
1964  NR  DRAMA  2h 10min
CAST— Sean Connery, “Tippi” Hedren, Diane Baker, Martin Gabel, Louise Latham, Alan Napier
MUSIC— Bernard Herrmann  DIRECTOR— Alfred Hitchcock  BASED ON— Marnie (novel), by Winston Graham

     Less than memorable Hitchcock fare, this time centering on career criminal “Tippi” Hedren meeting her match in playboy tycoon Sean Connery. As she cooks up a scheme to rob him blind, he sees right through her, eventually snaring her in a trap of his own. He discovers her secrets, uncovers her background, and begins to understand who she is underneath her stony façade. After crawling along at a snail’s pace, the film generates a bit of speed in the last half hour, as the skeletons start to come out of the closets; patience is a must. Good performances. Great directing. But honestly, this may be better left to the Hitchcock freaks.
OUR RATING— **
