女神殿

"The movie is, more than anything else, an uncompromising experiment in creating, for the viewer, an idea of what schizophrenia is like." 

"He doesn't see Peter from the outside, as a danger or a threat, but from the inside, as a suffering man who still retains those instincts that make us human, including love for our children." -- Roger Ebert

"Clean, Shaven is an almost unbearably intense, exceedingly concentrated study of schizophrenia by a clearly talented new filmmaker." 

"Using a fragmented narrative and some avant-garde techniques, pic is so unsettling that many viewers won't be able to tolerate it, and there is no doubt that the graphic gruesomeness of two or three scenes goes well beyond what any audience would want to see." -- Variety 

"In addition to being a possibly murderous schizophrenic, Peter is a lonely father figure who wants his little girl back. He has an investigator on his trail. He has a strained, unhappy relationship with his mother, who seems to bring out the Norman Bates in her son." -- New York Times

"Marnie could never be confused with prime Alfred Hitchcock, but it's a much better film than its tarnished reputation would lead one to believe. Modern audiences will likely find its psychological undercurrents a bit basic -- and therefore find the ending somewhat pat, predictable, and artificial -- but it somehow works nonetheless." -- AllMovie

1.
Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] Five minutes into the film, in the hotel corridor as Marnie walks by.
2.
Diane Baker has said that for the scene where she eavesdrops on Mark and Marnie talking outside of the house, Alfred Hitchcock came up to her, put his hands on her face, and physically manipulated it into having the expression he wanted for the scene.

3.
Alfred Hitchcock first asked Evan Hunter, the screenwriter for The Birds (1963), to adapt the novel after Tippi Hedren had signed on. However, Hunter strongly objected to the scene in the novel where Mark rapes Marnie, as he felt it was "unheroic" and that it would make women in the audience hate Mark. When he pressed Hitchcock about changing the scene, Hitchcock fired him.
3.5
Jay Presson Allen, who took over as screenwriter, stated that opposition to the rape scene doomed Hunter since that scene was the main reason Hitchcock wanted to do the film. For her part, Allen said she never had any qualms about including the scene, and felt it was up to Sean Connery and his charisma to make the audience "forgive" Mark's actions.
4.
When Alfred Hitchcock's discussion with Grace Kelly (to appear as the title character) became public, the residents of Monaco expressed their disapproval, and Kelly withdrew. In a further complication, since Kelly had not fulfilled her MGM contract when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956, she could not appear in any film other than an MGM film until she fulfilled the terms of her MGM contract.
5.
Bernard Herrmann's last score for a Hitchcock film.
6.
Alfred Hitchcock and screenwriter Jay Presson Allen were allowed to see scenes from Dr. No (1962) when considering Sean Connery for the role of Mark. They liked his charismatic performance so much that they decided to offer him the role even though the obviously Scottish actor did not really fit with their conception of Mark as an "American aristocrat."
7.
Louise Latham, who played Marnie's mother, was suggested by screenwriter Jay Presson Allen - the two had been classmates in a boarding school in Texas.
8.
When Louise Latham came onto the set in her "young" makeup to film the film's climactic flashback, she looked so different that the cameraman began to ask around to find out who the new actress was.
9.
Tippi Hedren has stated that many people have asked her what it was like to kiss the handsome Sean Connery in this film. Her reply was, "How sexy was it? It wasn't. It was simply technical. It was totally technical."
10.
After Grace Kelly turned him down, Hitchcock considered and then rejected these actresses for the title role of "Marnie": Eva Marie Saint, Lee Remick, Vera Miles, Claire Griswold, and Susan Hampshire.
11.
Actress Catherine Deneuve said in interviews she would have loved to have played Marnie.
12.
Actress Naomi Watts dressed up as "Marnie" for a portrait that was published in the March 2008 issue of the magazine "Vanity Fair." (She said she was fascinated by Tippi Hedren when they both acted in the film I Heart Huckabees (2004). 
13.
Among the supporting actors in Marnie are Mariette Hartley as a secretary and Bruce Dern as a sailor; twelve years later, Dern would star in Hitchcock's final film, Family Plot.

The ban imposed upon the film by the Ontario Film Review Board in November 2001 (on the grounds that it offended "contemporary provincial moral standards") was finally lifted in January 2003, after Bill Moody replaced Robert Warren as the Board's Chair and new guidelines for reviewing films were adopted. The film's North American distributor, Cowboy Pictures, had also threatened the OFRB with a lawsuit.

Faye Dunaway ...  Kitty Olchin
Allan Houston ...  Basketball Celebrity 

1.
For Leo's and Willie's fight, the actors agreed to actually fight each other. Although they wore knee and elbow pads, everything on screen is actually Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg beating each other up. There are no stunts and the entire thing was taken in two takes from three different angles. The next day, the actors were black and blue.
2.
The film was based on a real-life corruption scandal in the mid-1980s that involved the father of director James Gray.
3.
The New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) initially refused permission to film on its property. The filmmakers decided to film at an old abandoned freight yard and a studio set. Finally, a deal was reached allowing one scene to be shot inside the 207th Street Car Shop and Yard on NYCTA property.
4.
Just before the fight scene, Joaquin Phoenix really did hit Charlize Theron, and really took a tumble down the stairs.
5.
Although theatrically released in the fall of 2000, the film was shot during the spring and summer of 1998 and was originally slated for theatrical release in the fall of 1999. Studio and production problems, however, delayed the release for a full year. 




"A thankful contrast to the flood of stylishly violent crime films that came in the wake of Tarantino's films, Little Odessa's violence is present to serve a purpose, making it all the more effective and horrifying when characters do ultimately succumb to its deceptively seductive and ultimately soul-shredding allure." -- AllMovie

Cary Grant ...  John Robie
Grace Kelly ...  Frances Stevens
Jessie Royce Landis ...  Jessie Stevens
John Williams ...  H.H. Hughson
Charles Vanel ...  Bertani
Brigitte Auber ...  Danielle Foussard 

1.
Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] about 10 minutes in, sitting next to John Robie (Cary Grant) on a bus.
2.
Francie (Grace Kelly)'s car is a Sunbeam-Talbot Alpine Sports Mk I roadster.
3.
On 14 September 1982, Grace Kelly was killed in an automobile accident in Monaco, supposedly on the very same road as her famous chase scene in this film and not far from where she had a picnic scene with Cary Grant. She was 52 years old and lost control of her car after apparently suffering a stroke while at the wheel.
4.
For the scene between Robie and the insurance agent, when they talk about the cook's sensitive hands, the German version of the movie differs completely from the original. In English, Robie notes she once strangled a German general without a sound, while in German, he says she once caught a lion escaped from a circus with her bare hands.
5.
Cary Grant had announced his retirement from acting in February 1953, stating that since the rise of Method actors like Marlon Brando, most people were no longer interested in seeing him. He was also angry at the way Charles Chaplin had been treated by the HUAAC. He was lured out of his retirement to make this film, and thereafter continued acting for a further 11 years.

Edith Head ....  costumes designed by: Miss Hedren's

Suzanne Pleshette ...  Annie Hayworth
Rod Taylor ...  Mitch Brenner
Jessica Tandy ...  Lydia Brenner
Veronica Cartwright ...  Cathy Brenner
Ethel Griffies ...  Mrs. Bundy - Ornithologist 

1.
Though there is no musical score for this film, composer and Alfred Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann is credited as a "sound consultant."
2.
Alfred Hitchcock saw Tippi Hedren in a 1962 commercial aired during the "Today" (1952) show and put her under contract. In the commercial for a diet drink, she is seen walking down a street and a man whistles at her slim, attractive figure, and she turns her head with an acknowledging smile. In the opening scene of the film, the same thing happens as she walks toward the bird shop. This was an inside joke by Hitchcock.
3.
Tippi Hedren's daughter Melanie Griffith was given a present by Alfred Hitchcock during the filming: a doll that looked exactly like Hedren, eerily so. The creepiness was compounded by the ornate wooden box it came in, which the young girl took to be a coffin.
4.
The automobile driven by Tippi Hedren is an Aston Martin DB2/4 drop-head coupe.
5.
This was the first film to carry the Universal Pictures name after dropping the Universal-International name.
6.
Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] at the start of the film walking two dogs past the pet shop (the dogs were actually his own).
7.
In one of the first scenes, Tippi Hedren can be seen crossing the street to the pet shop. As she does, she disappears behind a sign for a moment and reappears on the other side. Alfred Hitchcock so hated working on location, he used this moment to seamlessly cut to a studio shot.
8.
Melanie wears the same green suit throughout the movie, so Tippi Hedren was provided with six identical green suits for the shoot.
9.
Before the release of the film, Tippi Hedren was featured on the cover of Look magazine with the caption "Hitchcock's new Grace Kelly".
10.
Cast member Doodles Weaver was the uncle of actress Sigourney Weaver, who worked with Veronica Cartwright in Alien (1979), and with Tippi Hedren's daughter, Melanie Griffith, in Working Girl (1988).
