great performances from connery, hedren and baker. baker was the revelation for me and was perfectly cast. the dialogue is great. e.g., mark's proposal to marnie in the car, lil's offer of assistance to mark, even sidney's assesment of marnie to mark, just to mention a few. favorite line: "let's try again. let's back up and see if you can turn that mt. everest of manure into a few facts."

Marnie one of my top 2 or 3 Hitch films. It's dark and pulpy and funny and unsettling and it doesn't take itself too seriously. So much better than the po-faced Black Swan bunkum that everyone loves. Tippi is brave and brilliant (I'd love to see Naomi Watts in the role), Connery was never sexier (dredging the depths of his sadistic carnality that Bond takes for granted) and Diane Baker has the best hair ever.

I just can't stand Tippi Hedren. She's a different kind of annoying here than in The Birds, but I still have no idea what Hitch saw in her. Connery had EON arrange this part because he wanted to avoid typecasting- but he plays his role almost as a spy. He and Newman should have traded Hitchcock films. Diane Baker steals the show.

Non gosto nada desta época de sir Alfred. Estas películas nas que non se parece relatar nada e que xoga cos sentimentos das persoaxes.... Eu son de historia, de relato, e de conto.

what? Marnie's fan is lower than Vertigo...... even, 5%.. of vetigo...'s fan... ummm... anyway, Marnie is SUPREME MOVIE! pure suspense and human emotion. (especially, Marnie is in some diagonal angles and following tracking shot. Scorsese's Cape Fear is borrow this, effectively and surprisingly.)

They say the sequence on the horse is like the worst in cinema history... True. But the film is worth the viewing!

A more perfect example of pure cinema there has never been. Every sequence is like a miracle. It’s so well made by Hitchcock and that score of Hermann's is b..e..a..utiful. Shamelessly underrated by critics to this day. As Robin Wood said, if you don’t like Marnie you don’t like Hitchcock and if you don’t like Marnie, you don’t like cinema.

Tippi Hedren’s odd off-kilter performance and alluring psychosexuality makes this film strangely fascinating. Perhaps my favourite Hitchcock. "How do you take your tea, Miss Taylor? " "Usually with a cup of hot water and a tea bag." Zing. Marnie's wicked tongue seals the deal.

If the story was at the same league of the master's direction it would be another flawless masterpiece in his body of work. Hitchcock's skill behind the camera, his painstaking care and the awareness of where to put the camera at the right place at the right time, lifts the film's quality from a standard freudian melodrama ala spellbound; to a stylish, sexy, suspenseful and involving vertigo's little cousin.
