Not Tippi's Best

Marnie is a psychological Letdown

Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie was meant to be a hair-raiser-a psychological thriller. It had the then famous and beautiful Tippi Hedren and the debonair Sean Connery as star billings. I believe this was one of the duller Hitchcock films. The usual sound and visuals may have worked in those days but they pale in comparison to the wizardry of special effects today.

Not exceptionally great story line. It was reported that Tippi had a hard time with Hitchcock and fell out with each other after Marnie though Hedren was the hot favourite of Hitchcock after The Birds. Also, Hedren's beauty did not shine through in this role as the fearful Marnie.

Nothing great about this movie. Give it a miss.
