Marnie
The more he loved her . . . The more she hated him . . . For trying to unravel her secret!
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Produced by Alfred J. Hitchcock Productions, Universal Pictures
A psychologically complex thriller about obsession and control, where a man's attempt to 'cure' a traumatized woman through coercion unearths the roots of her fractured identity.
Marnie is a beautiful but emotionally withdrawn thief, stealing from employers before disappearing under new identities. When her new boss, Mark Rutland, discovers her secret, his fascination turns to obsession, and he blackmails her into marriage, convinced he can cure her. But as he probes deeper into Marnie’s fractured mind, long-buried fears and compulsions begin to surface.
