30 Dec Notorious
Notorious, WWII Movie starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman
(1946) To my delight, Robert Osborne and Alec Baldwin shared background information on this excellent film when it was shown on Turner Classic Movies. (Yes, I’m warming up to Alec Baldwin.)
This was the first movie that Alfred Hitchcock both produced and directed, and it delivers Hitchcock’s signature suspense perfectly.
The story took place in 1946, just after the war ended. Intelligence agents (the OSS? Perhaps …) are tracking down Nazi scientists in Brazil who are experimenting with uranium.
Ingrid Bergman’s gorgeous gowns were designed by Edith Head. She is head over heels in love with Cary Grant but agrees to marry another all for the sake of the cause.
My dear, what were you thinking?
