On Mark's (Sean Connery's) attempts to cure Marnie (Tippi Hedren): "The film works with a simplistic and reductive Freudian scheme of revelation of trauma followed by instant catharsis and cure: a pattern familiar from many Hollywood films of the post war period. Marnie defends herself against Mark's controlling attempt: it brings under control the dangerously independent stance of both mother and daughter who articulate hatred of men, who despise sex, and want to live without men." (From E. Anne Kaplan: "Motherhood and Representation" in "Psychoanalysis and Cinema"; 1990.)
