Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious" is a highly regarded spy thriller/romance and an essential piece of the director's filmography.

Yes Hitchcock did it again. However screenplay writers didnt. This film includes some moment that are annoying. I was thinking are these people real spies or maybe just stupid hollywood actors. Second one won, and that was terrible for film. Setting is interesting, ww2 and spying and they had hitchcock to direct it. As in all his films most of film is nice looking and than you have some great moments. And those are reasons why to watch his films. Of course sometimes screenplay is good and than we have masterpiece, wich this one is not. All in all well directed, interesting but poorly written film. Hitchcock should have made much better films, he had talent. And Bergman is bad actress.

Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman) is drunk and is aided by government agent T. R. Devlin (Cary Grant). She meets Alex Sebastian (Claude Rains), one of her father's friends and a leading member of the group is met. The task was assigned to Devlin to infiltrate an organization of Nazis. Alicia is poisoned after Alex discovers his wife’s peculiar actions. The wide, blurry and close-up shots were effective. Subjects of love, jealousy, political agenda, drinking and duty were tackled throughout the picture. Set pieces, score were astoundingly radiant. Its pace of the story was somewhat snail paced. The best things about the movie are the performances of the Cast. Notorious is a good romance mystery despite its minor flaws.

Between this and "North by Northwest" it looks like Cary Grant and Hitchcock make excellent movies together. And whenever you add Claude Rains and Ingrid Bergman, you just can't go wrong. lol.

I can appreciate the charisma and connection the two leads share, but I felt the tension was too slow-building and the direction a little plotting - out of the ordinary for the great Hitchcock. Of course, this is acknowledged as one of the alltime greats, so maybe it bears a rewatching.

This is how Hitchcock is supposed to be. Suspense that keeps building. Terrific chemistry between leads with a compelling story. If you like classic film noir, it won't get much better than this.

I so love Ingrid Bergman. She was beyond beautiful. So, I love this movie. The plot is great and something special for remark is Cary Grant not making a "nice" guy. The plot is great, and it was already copy by a movie in the recent years. Wich I found very disapointing. Check this one and tell me what plot is very similar!

Not for me, as I did not find it interesting. It was slow, out dated, and I was disappointed in this Hitchcock film.
