It's lush, cool and oddly moving, A woman robs her employers and changes her identity. When her next boss catches her, he forces her to marry him. Marnie is even better than ¨Fortune is a woman,¨ the other thriller written by Winston Graham that had hit successfully the silver screen. The mise-en-scene contains the classic Hitch Touch. Theme and technique meet on a high level. Psychology resonates, the visuals transcendent the ordinary. Tippi Hedron's central performance steals the show, a fascinating study of a sexual relationship , a sour vision of male-female interaction just like Vertigo, though far less bleak and universal in its implications.
