Alfred Hitchcock Film Series — Marnie

First time screening at Retro!

Criticized at the time of its release, “Marnie” has since grown in stature as one of Hitchcock’s greatest and darkest achievements. Tippi Hedren plays a compulsive thief who cannot stand to be touched by any man. She also goes bonkers over the sight of the color red. Her new boss, Marnie intrigues Mark Rutland (Sean Connery) – to such an extent that he blackmails her into marriage when he stumbles onto her breaking into his safe. Rutland is in his own way as “sick” as his wife because of his fetishist desire to cohabit with a thief.
