Summary: It draws me in everytime!
Review: I've seen this film so many times, and I still get drawn in everytime I see that it is on TV! Of course, being a BIG Sean Connery fan (down to naming my son after him) has a lot to do with that, but I love the dark, mysterious tone of this film. My favorite scene is the split screen when Marnie is stealing money from Mark's company, and the deaf cleaning lady is cleaning in the same room. What a great technique! One of Hitchcock's best!

Summary: Hitchcock's last great film
Review: This was a critical fiasco when it came out in the early Sixties, and Hedren was widely blamed for the film's failure. Most film critics now see it as one of Hitchcock's greatest masterpieces from his late mature period, however--on a par with VERTIGO, PSYCHO, and THE BIRDS.This is not a film for those new to Hitchcock or his themes: the lack of a typical mystery or suspense plot may seem surprising for those expecting Hitchcock's more obvious bag of tricks. But as an in-depth character study of a truly unhappy woman and the (just as pathological) man who loves her, this one is every bit as riveting and fascinating and anything Hitchcock ever did--and when Marnie enters the Rutland mansion in her riding habit wielding a pistol after the foxhunting sequence you'll be at the edge of your seat to see what she'll do. The linchpin of the film is Hedren, who gives what must be the most underrated performance in Hitchcock's oeuvre--and clearly one of the very finest. Her refusal to warm up--either to Connery's character or to audiences--has made it a difficult performance for many to grasp, but those who dismiss it are greatly mistaken. Her joy when Connery brings her beloved horse to the mansion, her faltering childlike tones during the film's denouement, and her lightning-fast changes of mood during the great word-association secene show how truly talented and stunning this actress really is. You have only to see her incredible facial expression during the hunting scene when the hounds are ripping up the fox to shreds (and Marnie's aristocratic friends are laughing at the spectacle) to appreciate what a complex talent Hedren is, and how thoroughly Hollywood wasted its opportunities to use her well.

Summary: Hedren is fine. What's the deal?
Review: Tippi Hedren is very good in Marnie, as is Sean Connery (but he's great in everything). Marnie is a little long/slow moving, but it is a fascinating "head trip."
Rating:
Summary: Connery is great, Hedren is gorgeous!
Review: This film was not greeted well when it first came out. Now, it's considered a minor Hitchcock classic ("Vertigo" is undoubtedly his best film from that era). No, Hedren is no Katherine Hepburn, but she does quite well in the starring role, thank you.

Summary: Tippi Hedren is a lousy actress
Review: I totally agree with everyone who says that this film is excellent, because it is. However it has been a bad decision to propose this role for Tippi Hedren, because the melancholic, complexed, traumatised and psychologically defected woman she was due to act, just didn't suit her capacities. But after her wonderful acting in Hitchcock's The Birds, one year earlier (1963), all this is long ago forgiven...

Summary: One of my favorite Hitchcock films!
Review: I do still think this movie is underrated. This is one of Connery's best early roles. I am a major Connery, Hitchcock (and James Bond genre) fan. The first time I saw the movie, I found it somewhat disturbing and cliched. But you find something new each time you see it. Connery brings a lot of depth to a somewhat implausible character at an early stage in his career (and looks gorgeous at the same time!)
