July 22, 1964 –
One of Hitchcock’s most underrated (and sexually twisted) films, Marnie opened on this date.
After rehearsing just a few scenes with Sean Connery, Tippi Hedren asked Alfred Hitchcock, “Marnie is supposed to be frigid, have you seen him?” referring to the young Connery. Hitchcock’s reply was reportedly, “Yes, my dear, it’s called acting.“
