This film is a psychological thriller. Sean Connery is bent on understanding what happened to Marnie to cause her to become a thief, liar, and frigid. Originally, Grace Kelly agreed to do this film. She was then Princess of Monaco and decided to come back. Then she changed her mind. Hitchcock gave Tippi a big chance but began trying to control her, run her life, and sexually harassed her. She did not give in to his sexual advances and he ruined her career. He had her under contract. She received marvelous film offers and Hitchcock turned them all down and would not release her. She should have sued.
The extras include a highly informative Making Of Documentary, with contemporary interviews of Tippi Hedren, Diane Baker, and Louise Latham, as well as a gallery of production/publicity photos. All in all a great package that makes this DVD worth owning.
I've watched "Marnie" many times over the years, first on television, then DVD. My suspicion is that "romantics" love it, even while they recognize its flaws, while the "realists" who always saw the logical gaps in Hitch's work, disdain it. It's a great film and tells a sad, compelling story in high style, perfectly wrought tension, and great feeling.

Pour ma part, c'est un des mes films préférés d'Hitchcock tant par le choix des acteurs et l'ambiance que par la qualité du scénario.
Comme le dit François Truffaut, Marnie fait partie des grands films malades d'Alfred Hitchcock:
"Un certain degré de cinéphilie encourage parfois à préférer dans l'oeuvre d'un metteur en scène, son "grand film malade"à son son chef-d'oeuvre"
Mark Rutland (Sean Connery) has a fetish: he studies wild animal instinct, especially of predators. He also trained a wild cat to trust him. He’s attracted to Marnie because she thieves (as well as fallen in love).He has to win her trust. She’s a criminal, but the circumstances that make her a criminal come from an accident in her childhood. Mark is interested in Marnie because she’s a thief and he wants to marry her. She’s strange and he equally is strange himself. The suspense in how these two people get together.Hitchcock revs up the suspense by opening with her carrying a yellow purse under her arm walking away with black hair to Hermann’s music. We move to the scene of the crime and a man who runs the firm describing the ‘skirt covering her legs… like a national treasure.’ She transforms from black to blonde hair, changes her costume. Of course it’s worth reminding ourselves Connery here exudes a sexual magnetism (he’s between James Bond films).Hitchcock based the film on a Winston Graham book,doing some changes: transplanting the story to America, removing the psychologist (Connery takes this role: he wants to control her and cure her), drops the police.
Marnie is trapped into marriage by Rutland, the head of the firm that employs her.Marriage gives Mark control, Marnie pragmatically complies (he’s rich, attractive);she’s trapped anyway, now Mark knows she’s a thief. Marnie thinks she’s smart enough to escape him like she has all other men. Mark uncovers her frigidity on their honeymoon, but he makes love with her vs. her will but she seems in a trance (she doesn’t like men). Mark literally penetrates her into love (and she lets him). Hitchcock makes a psychoanalytic case live, so the past is always present in their embodied actions. A cure is affected through love, to retrieve the real person. She is blackmailed out of her guilt. Marnie is strangely absent in the real world, both in scenes and out of them, in a world that’s hard to read (aided by artificial backdrops).There’s a variation in design and cinematic elements. Louis Latham as Marnie’s mother is exquisite, as the mother who’d been a prostitute as a single mother: her recall of a scene in Marnie’s childhood where she confesses in a late scene is remarkable. One of Hitchcock’s most underrated films brilliantly acted. Hedren is the star of the movie,( Connery is already a powerful star), mastering a range of voices between witty, sophisticated to childish (when she enacts her memories). The artistry of the film belies the underlying tragedy of the real world relationships.
