More PS layers: Marnie


Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery, in “Marnie.”

Here is the B & W version:

Home sick, watching DVD’s, I always liked this scene from Hitchcock’s “Marnie,” when she’s got the safe open but can’t get her hand to steal the money in the safe and Sean Connery looms up behind her and says, “Go ahead and take it! It’s not stealing! What’s mine is yours!”

One thing I always noticed about the movie (besides Sean Connery’s overly plucked eyebrows) is all the beige’s and browns and yellows. If you look carefully, you’ll notice an uncanny, bright yellow theme going from the yellow getaway handbag, to the yellow fridge in Marnie’s mom’s house, to the yellow leather vest on Sean Connery’s father.

(I’d provide reference photos, but I simply paused the DVD and worked from the TV screen.)
