Hitchcock’s Marnie, that is.
Ladies, wanna know what it’s like to have mommy AND daddy issues? What it’s like to live like a queen on peasant crimes?
Then this is the film for you.
“A commercial and critical failure upon its release, Marnie is one of the Master’s failures that has gained a following over time,” and that following is overwhelmed by the moral of Marnie’s story; A child who grows up failing to receive love, learns to take it wherever she can.
Yes, even back then the source of the harlot and thief was generated from a bottomless pit of self loathing and virtually non-existent self worth.
Who can’t relate to that?
A worthwhile film, especially if you’re riding the bipolar waves of high and low.
Happy viewing…
