 DVDBeaver.com - "Marnie" Review
I also very much enjoyed the film extra " The Trouble with Marnie" in which cast members and production crew discuss the film making process and "Hitch".
It is quite easily forgiven when we have as many masterful, typical Hitchcockian vignettes, like Marnie robbing the safe in Marks office with the deaf cleaner around the corner.
Marnie Edgar (played by Tipp Hedren)is an extremely complex character.

 More Films of Alfred Hitchcock
The last American film in which he seemed to be at the peak of his craft, Marnie left many critics and viewers cold during its inital release but steadily gained a cult following through repertory and TV screenings - and with very good reason.
Marnie's unhappy home life stems from a dysfunctional relationship with her mother (Louise Latham), and her hatred of men drives her to seek escape by riding her beloved horse, Forio.
Unfortunately for Marnie, the rich, young Mark Rutland (Sean Connery) recognizes her from a past job and offers a most unusual arrangement.

 DVD Times - Marnie
What's most impressive about 'The Trouble with Marnie' is that it isn't afraid to point out flaws in the final film, though it unsurprisingly shies away from Spoto's claims about Hitchcock's attitude towards Hedren, as I suspect they would have been a little too near the knuckle for an essentially celebratory documentary like this.
Marnie (Tippi Hedren) is a compulsive thief and equally pathological liar, clearly with some deep-seated psychological problems (the sight of certain images, especially those dominated by reds, makes her feel faint).
It was also arguably his last true 'Hollywood' film, shot almost entirely on a sound stage, with all the stylisation and artificiality that that implies (the clarity of the DVD does rather emphasise Hitchcock's fondness for back projection).

 DVD Verdict Review - Marnie
The first is that the falseness of the surroundings is an extension of Marnie's psychosis and the film is conveying the world as she perceives it.
The main extra of the disc is Laurent Bouzereau's excellent documentary, "The Trouble with Marnie." At 58 minutes, the feature gives a well-rounded overview of the film and is quite entertaining to boot.
Working himself closer and closer to Marnie, Rutland realizes how disturbed the girl really is. Icy cold one minute, panic stricken at the sound of thunder the next, he also finds she has a pathological fear of the color red.

 Marnie
Add 1964's Marnie to the list of good Hitchcock movies that just don't do a lot for me. For the most part, I found the film to be moderately compelling, but it seemed more like stock Hitchcock and lacked much of the flair of his other efforts.
The psychoanalytic bent of Marnie also means that we're "treated" to scenes in which her male pursuer Mark (Sean Connery) runs Marnie through a series of psychological exercises such as free association.
Marnie has to go through a wide variety of emotional states and Hedren simply wasn't up to the task.

 Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie
As the film progresses, the audience learns that Lil loves Mark, putting her and Marnie in constant conflict.
Marnie is clutching the purse, so its color then symbolizes a self-destructive woman holding on to her destructive past.
Red becomes the key to unlocking Marnie's childhood when she realizes that the color symbolizes the blood from a sailor--a man who she murdered when he attempted to rape her and her mother.

 The Vertigo of Time
Another notable loop work is Stan Douglas's immersive black and white film installation Subject to a Film: Marnie (1989), which atmospherically reconstructs a sequence featuring Marnie (Tippi Hedren) committing a robbery in an abandoned office building, and is installed in a dark cavernous room.
Vertigo, which is arguably Hitchcock's most personal film, is, as Wollen reminds us, not only the director's own visual encyclopedia of psychopathology but also a film that transcends its detective/suspense generic configurations to become a haunting mystery tale of the fantastic.
The seductive cubist-inflected spiralling title sequence to Vertigo, designed by Saul Bass and assisted by abstract filmmaker John Whitney, and accompanied by Bernard Herrman's peerless magnetic haunting score, is one of the high moments in the art of cinema titling as it symbolically presages Hitchcock's narrative itself.

Moreover, Marnie herself possesses the most striking and constant use of yellow in the film: her blonde hair is a constant warning to the audience that trouble is with her at all times and also serves as a reminder that the tribulations in her life are found in one's head.
Marnie complains of being cold while in the bedroom with Mark and he even asks her frankly "are you cold, Margaret?" Marnie takes an emotionally difficult sense as the healing begins.

 SoundtrackNet : Marnie Soundtrack
Marnie is a typical Hitchcock film involving a woman (Marnie, played by Tippi Hedren) who is a habitual thief that also has serious psychological problems (no big stretch for Hitchcock!).
I think that Marnie might be better served (as listening experiences go) as a shorter 20-minute suite as part of a larger compilation album.
The album runs 50-minutes over 41 tracks, and due to the minimal amount of variations and themes, one might find that the album is repetitive to listen to.

 BHS: Review: Marnie
Joel McNeely here follows his modern re-recordings of Bernard Herrmann's The Trouble With Harry, Psycho, Vertigo and Torn Curtain and with the complete music from the last Alfred Hitchcock film actually released with a Herrmann score; Marnie (1964).
In this context Marnie really marks a transitional point; Hitchcock less than successfully retreating to the world of Vertigo, then attempting to join the Bond bandwagon with Torn Curtain, sacrificing Herrmann along the way.
Propulsively driven by the romantic main theme, Herrmann keeps returning to the scene of the crime, unresolved figures repeated over and again establishing the neurotic, compulsive world of Marnie, an almost hallucinatory nightmare for Hitchcock's characters, a luxurious dream for the listener.

 PULP : : The Manga Magazine : : 5.10 Jeff Altman
Of course, Cronenberg's film is about a male reaction to forbidden sexual imagery: a whip-flogged Debbie Harry in a red dress leads to a throbbing television screen that gives head, which leads to a vagina-holster in James Wood's stomach, custom-cut to engulf his fleshy, veiny handgun.
Frame flickers and bits of burning celluloid are meant to suggest an "experimental film" edginess, and cartoony music fills–xylophone arpeggiations, synth-mimicked slide whistles–underscore the irony of it all.
She wants to be seen, you see, much like Hitchcock's ice princess Marnie–a strolling vortex of cuneiform hairstyles and vulvactic pocketbooks–wants to be "caught." Ito wilefully envisioned randy schoolboys as increasingly slime-soaked supersnails whose adolescent tumescences take the form of eyes-on-stems–and are sometimes climactically severed.

 Gerald Peary - film reviews - Alice and Martin
Critic Robin Wood has made a persuasive case that the greatest films – Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie, John Ford's The Searchers, for example – are cathartic and salutary, moving from darkness to hope, from pathology and dysfunction to some evidence of mental health.

For Hitchcock, however, The Birds was his last unarguable success - its follow-up, Marnie (1964), also starring Hedren, was a box-office failure.
Hence the film acts an attack on the props of Eisenhower-era femininity, one of Hitchcock's long-term preoccupations.
How book and film compare: According to Hunter, Hitchcock told him: "We're throwing away everything except the title, and the notion of birds attacking human beings." The original's austerity-era English setting was changed to the Californian resort of Bodega Bay, just north of San Francisco.

The basic conceit of the film is quite simple: a seemingly normal but unbalanced photographer, Mark Lewis (Carl Boehm), kills beautiful women with a spiked camera tripod while filming their horrified reactions at the moment of death.
The film's sympathetic depiction of the killer provoked outrage in the '60s but has become far more common now (for better or worse), and Boehm (who later worked for Rainer Werner Fassbinder!) makes an effectively vulnerable, complex cinephilic figure.
Set in modern day London, an environment which encourages the pornography industry inside quaint looking buildings, the film follows Mark as he does his day to day
