Meanwhile, Evan Hunter, the original screenwriter on Marnie, was having problems of his own. One scene in particular in which the frigid Marnie is raped on her honeymoon would ultimately lead to a falling-out with the director.
When we were discussing it for the hundredth time, and I gave all my reasons, you know I didn't think a guy who loves her would rape her on their wedding night, and I thought it would be very difficult to rescue him after that scene for the rest of the film. And he said, "Evan" and you know how directors do when they're framing a shot, he said "Evan" and he came right in like this and he said, "When he sticks it in, I want that camera right on her face." Just like that, and I thought "Oh boy!" |
