Highlights:
- To me, this stands right up there with the best works of Alfred Hitchcock. It is as good as the highly acclaimed films of his making its low popularity a mystery. A tactful and intense presentation makes it work big time.
- It is Sean Connery in the early days of his career and as the rich and persuasive businessman, he is rock-solid and his dialogue delivery deserves a special mention.
- Tippi Hedren as Marnie lives her role and plays a crucial role in making the film very interesting.
- Bernard Herrmann's grand music,the amazing camera angles & crisp dialogues are admirable.
