After a decade of successful films that included Rear Window,
Vertigo, North by Northwest, and Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock produced
Marnie, an apparent artistic failure and an unquestionable
commercial disappointment. Over the decades, however, the film's
reputation has undergone a reevaluation, and both critics and fans
alike have come to appreciate Marnie's many qualities. In Hitchcock
and the Making of Marnie, Tony Lee Moral investigates the cultural
and political factors governing the 1964 film's production, the
causes of its critical and commercial failure, and Marnie's
relevance for today's artists and filmmakers. Hitchcock's style,
motivation, and fears regarding the film are well-documented in
this examination of one of his most undervalued efforts. Moral uses
extensive research, including personal interviews with Tippi Hedren
and Psycho screenwriter Joseph Stefano-as well as unpublished
excerpts from interviews with Hitchcock himself-to delve into the
issues surrounding the film's production and release. This revised
edition features four new chapters that provide even more
fascinating insights into the film's production and Hitchcock's
working methods. Biographies of Winston Graham-the author of the
novel on which the film is based-and screenwriter Jay Presson Allen
provide clues into how they brought a feminist viewpoint to Marnie.
Additional material addresses Hitchcock's unrealized project Mary
Rose and his efforts to bring it to the screen, the director's
visual style and subjective approach to Marnie, and an exploration
of the "real" Alfred Hitchcock. The book also addresses criticisms
of the director following the HBO television movie The Girl, which
depicted the filming of Marnie. With newly obtained access to the
Hitchcock Collection Production Archives at the Margaret Herrick
Library, the files of Jay and Lewis Allen, and the memoirs of
Winston Graham-as well as interviews in 2012 with the Hitchcock
crew-this new edition of Hitchcock and the Making of Marnie
provides an invaluable look behind the scenes of a film that has
finally been recognized for its influence and vision. It contains
more than thirty photos, including a storyboard sequence for the
film.
