POLITICAL PARTY - Connery is a member of the Scottish National Party (SNP) Q. QUOTE - on working with Alfred Hitchcock, who directed him in MARNIE, along with Tippi Hedren: "It's funny, but the film buffs at UCLA are constantly dissecting Marnie (1964) these days to see how it was done. When it was first released, there was a lot of criticism of Alfred Hitchcock because he used a studio set for the dockside scene. But the backdrop looked just like the port of Bristol - if not Baltimore, where it's supposed to be at. I adored and enjoyed Hitchcock tremendously. He never lost his patience or composure on the set."
