Notorious (1946)
10/10
A stunning thriller...
27 November 2005
After meeting a government agent named T. R. Devlin (Cary Grant) at a party, Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman) is offered a job in Rio de Janeiro where she must spy on a Nazi named Alexander Sebastian (Claude Rains) who has drawn some attention from the American government. With a past of affairs and alcoholism, she seemed like the perfect woman to seduce a Nazi, but finds herself in a complicated relationship with Devlin, as she rapidly becomes more intimate with Alex Sebastian to the point of marriage.

Alfred Hitchcock made many incredible films, but Notorious is most certainly one of the best. With an Oscar-worthy performance given by Ingrid Bergman as well as splendid editing and screenplay, Notorious is simply stunning in every aspect. Hitchcock takes an already terrifying situation and turns it in to a classic hear-thumping thriller, proving once again to be the master of the drama. There really isn't that much needed to be said about the film except that the performances are blissful and the editing is some of the best I have ever seen. Overall, Notorious is a highly enjoyable classic thriller by the master of thrillers, Alfred Hitchcock.

I highly recommend this film.
