Comment
Add a CommentRight up there on Hitchcock's "A" list with the biggies, (Vertigo, N. by N.W., etc.), yet somehow not as widely talked about as it deserves. Intense suspense from the master of it, with a romantic pairing of two icons who could carry a Hefty bag and make it smell like roses. Ingrid really shines here (Cary was great, too). And Claude Rains' mother was scarier than the Gestapo. FIVE STARS.
A perfect movie! The romance between Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, without bedroom scenes and nudity, is one of the most sensual in movie history.
Anyone looking for a great thriller/romance-this is for you! Perfect acting, perfect plotting. Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant at their best! One NEEDS to see this amazing movie. :)
