A nearly flawless espionage thriller that has been mimicked many times since, but never equaled.

Reviews for Notorious
It’s the accuracy, efficiency and control of Hitchcock’s direction that most impress. They enable him to dovetail the film’s thriller format and romantic story to dizzying, expressive and unique effect.

A glorious exercise in film style, where virtuoso camerawork combines with the characters to create a wonderful harmony of visuals and narrative - and where the complexities of character and story exist above and beyond the dictates of genre.

Hitchcock’s classic 1946 thriller Notorious is a terrific romantic tango between Ingrid Bergman’s exotic and spicy socialite and Cary Grant’s prim and proper American spy. It’s also shameless war propaganda.

Notorious has fascinating echoes of other Hitchcock movies such as Rebecca and Psycho. A must-see or must-see-again.

Shimmering and stealthy in its violence, Notorious is Hitchcock's best of the 1940s.
