Looks like the link to the 2005 Times article is no longer valid. I have a copy of it cached on my site if anyone wants to update the external link (http://www.hitchcockwiki.com/page/193). Davepattern (talk) 23:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Why is the image of the film in black and white when this is a color film? (in fact, it is a film which could not reasonably be done in black and white, due to the importance of the color red) Perhaps if nothing else, the caption on the photo should explain that while the photo is B&W, the film is in color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.104.61.117 (talk) 04:16, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
"incites Mark to rape her"?? "Consumates against her will"?? You mean rape. He rapes her. Seriously! Who the f!ck wrote this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revatman (talk • contribs) 03:59, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
I watched this flick this morning and I have problems believing that whoever wrote the entry had actually seen the movie. It's also poorly written and I was going to edit a few sentences for clarity but for some strange reason it's not possible to edit it. This is a movie review, not some entry about a controversial person or subject. 24.15.131.32 (talk) 21:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Apparently, the children's rhyme about the lady with the alligator bag shows up prominently in this movie? Worth mentioning and linking, if someone could. — LlywelynII 19:32, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
I have checked out the view history, and notice that the plot has been added to little by little, so that it is now very long, with many unnecessary details, and some important points that are either missing or wrong. When I recently tried to make some corrections, I was told that I was merely increasing the length of a plot summary that was already too long. The plot summary is not too bad, but it is cobbled together by may editors and it is not particularly clear. I am going to re-write it. My plan is to copy the entire section to another file on my computer and work on it until it is shorter, more direct, but also clearer. I am not going to erase it and start over, but work with what is already there. Since this will take a little work, I plan to put up the banner that says "under construction" so that other concerned editors can give me a little time to make all my changes before evaluating the whole thing.Grinbriar (talk) 23:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
After working to compress the plot summary, removing unnecessary details, EquitableCanine has put a lot of the details back and made the plot summary long again. For example, Mark is spending extravagantly on Marnie. I mentioned the "honeymoon" cruise because the next scene is set on the cruise. But whatever else he spent on is unnecessary. A lot of detail has been added back to the horse scene. It is an Alfred Hitchcock adventure scene; the details are not important in this setting. So? I do not know what to do. I feel like if I change it back, it may cause a fight. Before I made edits to the plot summary, I watched the movie and took notes. I am confident that my edits relate well to the actual plot. I definitely think that the re-insertion of the excess details, and the increasing length of the plot summary are steps in the wrong direction. Also, I deliberately removed several links which I considered trivial. I will watch this page for a while and see what others may think, and then maybe I will edit some more.Grinbriar (talk) 23:26, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
''Margaret "Marnie" Edgar (Tippi Hedren) used her charms on Sidney Strutt (Martin Gabel), a tax consultant, to get a clerical job without references. She thens steals $10,000 from his company safe and flees. This is not the start of the movie; this happened before the movie starts. (I believe that is called a back story). The way I had written it is more correct, referring to her leaving town, because of what she had just done. The move starts with Marnie fleeing the robbery, walking away from the camera, with a closeup from behind of the yellow purse that she carries underneath her arm. I think this kind of subtle error comes from trying to remember the plot but getting it a little wrong in the fuzziness of memory. Before I edited the plot, I watched the movie and took notes. I have a very strong feeling that many of the plot edits are going off in the wrong direction. I will keep watching it for a while, before I decide what to do.Grinbriar (talk) 00:01, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
WOW! No changes allowed?Grinbriar (talk) 21:10, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
The article says the last line is "I don't want to go to jail; I'd rather stay with you." but I thought she said "I want to stay with you." Not a huge difference, but definitely a stronger statement. Unfortunately, it was on the DVR and then I deleted it, so I can't go back and check. Nerfer (talk) 04:24, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
I corrected this article yesterday while watching the film. I was surprised to see that the Wikipedia plot description stated that Mark raped Marnie.
I corrected it to, "Mark initially respects her wishes, but at one point rips off her nightdress suddenly, leaving her naked. He is immediately remorseful and apologises." That is what happened.
Afterwards, another editor restored the "rape" while saying in the edit summary, "There was a rape, as I recall".
Well, I saw the scene immediately before reading about a "rape" in Wikipedia. Marnie was violated by being stripped, but Mark saw her fear and apologised. He took off his dressing gown to cover her, kissed her face, and put her to bed. O'Dea (talk) 08:39, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
This article is correctly titled. However, the article on the novel upon which it is based is simply "Marnie." I think that as with, for instance, Strangers on a Train, Marnie should be a link to the disambiguation page and the novel would be simply Marnie (novel).

"Hedren did not submit to his advances but asked out of her contract with her, which he refused to d". I think it might mean "...asked him to release her from her contract with him...", but I don't know enough about the background to confirm. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 16:41, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
