The film starred Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery. Hedren plays the title character, Marnie, a woman who has an unknown fear and hatred of men. Connery plays Mark Rutland, a man who owns a large business that Marnie gets a job at, in order to steal from it. Rutland finds out that she has stolen and instead of turning her over to the police, he blackmails her into marrying him. He than attempts to discover the reason for Marnie's behavior.
