1960s Romance Films (Study Guide) $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Marnie (1964) is a psychological thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock and based on the novel of the same name by Winston Graham. The film stars Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery. The original film score was composed by Bernard Herrmann. Mark and Marnie on their honeymoon cruise.Marnie Edgar (Hedren) is a troubled young woman who has an unnatural fear and mistrust of men, thunderstorms, and the color red. She is also a compulsive thief. She uses her charms on Sidney Strutt (Martin Gabel) to get a job without references. Then late one night, she steals the contents of the company safe and disappears. Mark Rutland (Connery), a widower who owns a large printing company, is a good customer of Strutt’s. He learns about the theft from the victim, and remembers the woman. So when Marnie applies for a job at his company, he is intrigued. He is robbed too, but unlike Strutt, Mark manages to track Marnie down. Instead of handing her over to the police, he blackmails her into marrying him. On their honeymoon on a cruise ship, he finds out about her frigidity. At first, he respects her wishes, but her undisguised hostility toward him incites Mark to rape her and consummate their marriage. (In certain syndicated broadcastings of the film, the rape scene is censored, making the sexual encounter more ambiguous.) The next morning she tries to commit suicide by drowning herself in the swimming pool, but Mark rescues her in time. He attempts to discover the reasons behind Marnie’s behavior. In the end, Marnie and Mark learn that her mother, Bernice (Louise Latham), had been a prostitute. When Marnie was six years old, one of her mother’s clients (a sailor played by Bruce Dern) had tried to calm her after she became frightened by a storm. The mother thought he was … More: |
