Facts about

Alfred Hitchcock and screenwriter Jay Presson Allen were allowed to see scenes from Dr. No when considering Sean Connery for the role of Mark. They liked his charismatic performance so much that they decided to offer him the role even though the obviously Scottish actor did not really fit with their conception of Mark as an "American aristocrat."
Marnie opened at New York theaters as the top half of a double bill with Never Put It in Writing starring Pat Boone in the second position.
After rehearsing just a few scenes with co-star Sean Connery, Tippi Hedren asked Alfred Hitchcock, "Marnie is supposed to be frigid - have you seen him?" referring to the young Connery. Hitchcock's reply was reportedly, "Yes, my dear, it's called acting."
