Do you know what film I watched in 2008?

It was AI, was curious if it could identify the movie based on the description… this is what it gave back: “Based on your description, the film you are thinking of is almost certainly "Marnie" (1964), directed by Alfred Hitchcock. While it was released in 1964, it features the quintessential 1950s "New Look" fashion (designed by the legendary Edith Head), and it was a staple on UK daytime television (especially on Channel 4 and Film4) during the mid-2000s. Here is why it matches your memories so perfectly: 1. The "Red Water" Bath Scene This is the most iconic part of the movie. The main character, Marnie (played by Tippi Hedren), has a psychological "trigger" where the color red causes her to freeze or panic. • The Scene: In a famous sequence, red ink (or sometimes blood in her flashbacks) gets on her white suit. She rushes to wash it off in a sink or basin, and the water turns a deep, vivid red. • The Suicide Attempt: Later in the film, while on a cruise ship honeymoon, she actually attempts to drown herself in the ship's pool (which might be the "bath" memory) and there is a recurring visual motif of red "washing" over the screen. 2. The Briefcase and the "Twirl" • The Opening: The very first shot of the film is a close-up of a bright yellow suitcase/handbag (which looks like a small vintage briefcase) tucked under Marnie's arm. • The "Lob": Marnie is a professional thief who changes her identity. There is a pivotal scene at a port/pier (Atlantic City) where she gets rid of her old life. She throws her locker keys and social security card into the water. • The Movement: Tippi Hedren’s movements in this film are very stylized and almost "balletic." The "twirl and lob" you remember fits Hitchcock’s highly choreographed directing style perfectly. 3. The Elizabeth Taylor Connection While the film stars Tippi Hedren, she has the classic, high-glamour look of that era (similar to Grace Kelly or Elizabeth Taylor). Since you mentioned watching a lot of Liz Taylor films, it's very likely this was played during a "Great Ladies of the Screen" marathon or a similar vintage movie block on Freeview. 4. The Wardrobe Marnie is famous for her 1950s-style skirt suits. She wears a grey one and a white one that are central to the plot (especially when the "red" stains them).”
