NOTORIOUS is Alfred Hitchcock's classic romantic espionage thriller, with passionate, brilliant performances by Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, featuring one of the most famous screen kisses in film history. At the end of World War II, American military intelligence drafts the alluring daughter (Bergman) of a convicted Nazi to infiltrate a band of nefarious Germans who have fled to Brazil. She is teamed with a dashing but chilly agent (Cary Grant) with whom she falls deeply in love. Because of her past, however, the rigid and judgmental agent refuses to trust her--and their relationship falls completely apart when she agrees to marry the ringleader of the Germans (Claude Rains) in order to have better access to information. The marriage touches off an intricate downward spiral of deceit and betrayal, leaving Bergman trapped in the home of an enemy. If her husband ever discovers the truth about her mission, her life will be in mortal danger. Punchy dialog animates this action-driven thriller that maintains its suspenseful drama to the very end.

Reviews for Notorious
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.
While there's little action in Notorious, there is plenty of suspense.
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.
the best of Alfred Hitchcock's espionage thrillers and one the strongest works of his extensive cinematic career
A nearly flawless espionage thriller that has been mimicked many times since, but never equaled.
Gorgeously shot in luminous monochrome, it’s all wrapped up with an extremely suspenseful last reel.
Bergman and Grant sizzle in this espionage tale written by Ben Hecht.
