Marnie

Psychological melodrama in which a beautiful thief is led by her husband to a confrontation with her repressed emotions and the secrets of her past.

Margaret Edgar is beautiful, clever and an expert thief. Her crimes and her hatred of men are the result of a deep-rooted neurosis which Mark Rutland, a wealthy publisher, is determined to unravel. Discovering her criminal activities, he forces her into a loveless marriage and sets about investigating her mysterious past. The results are even more terrifying than they both imagine.
