What happens in Marnie from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The film begins with a mysterious woman with dark hair, only seen from behind, as she navigates a train platform carrying a suitcase. Her accompanying yellow purse, held under her arm, strikingly resembles female genitalia in its positioning.
Shortly after, we see a furious business owner, Sidney Strutt, who vents his frustrations to two detectives about being “cleaned out” by a stunning employee named Marion Holland. Strutt, clearly drawn to her looks despite her lacking professional credentials, is overheard by a client, Mark Rutland, who humorously refers to her as “the brunette with the legs.”
