Notorious!

Notorious

One of the most exiting Hitchcock pictures. 1946. Director: Alfred Hitchcock.

Alicia Hubermann (Ingrid Bergman) is the daughter a nazi spy who's recruited by the goverment agent T. R. Devlin (Cary Grant) to infiltrate a group of germans in Brasil. At first, she doesn't want to, but she's persuaded by the very handsome Devlin.

She falls in love with him, but even though he's attracted to her, he doesn't seem to really love her truly because of his knowledge of her wild past. But when he has to tell her that her mission is to seduce her father's friend and member of the german group, Alex Sebastian (Claude Rains), Devlin chooses to act as if he has no feelings for her. Duty over love.

Alicia thinks that he doesn't love her any longer and marries Alex to be able to know more about the work of him and the others in the group. But if Alex learns what she really is, a spy for the government, he'll kill her.

This movie is very exiting and has that suspense that Hitchcock is the master of creating. Ingrid Bergman is very good in this movie. Cary Grant is good too, but I must say that Ingrid Bergman is a bit more convincing in her role then Cary Grant.

There's a very 'hot' scene in this film where Hitchcock has shot it so that it isn't cut. That creates a strong feeling for what's happening on the screen.

This is a very good movie and it's one of the most exiting movies by Hitchcock. Also Claude Rains is very good in his role as the onpleasant Alex Sebastian.
