Marnie (1964)- 6/10- Heavy-handed, melodramatic. Sean Connery was cast because of his popularity in the James Bond films; I'm not sure he was the best choice, as much as I like him. Bingowings is right about the contradictions, though to be honest I like Frenzy better (I say that lightly). Hitchcock's last good movie for me was Psycho (1960). The Birds (1963) is massively over-rated, IMHO.

Compare Marnie to Vertigo. Watching them back-to-back is just awful. Vertigo's a dramatic creepy love story done right.

(much the same can be said of Deckhard in Blade Runner

Freudian slip, Bingo?
