Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
One of Alfred Hitchcock's classics, this romantic thriller features a cast to kill for: Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and Claude Rains. Bergman plays the daughter of a disgraced father who is recruited by American agents to infiltrate a post-World War II spy ring in Brazil. Her control agent is Grant, who treats her with disdain while developing a deep romantic bond with her. Her assignment: to marry the suspected head of the ring (Rains) and get the goods on everyone involved. Danger, deceit, betrayal--and, yes, romance--all come together in a nearly perfect blend as the film builds to a terrific (and surprising) climax. Grant and Bergman rarely have been better. --Marshall Fine
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One of my favorites movies of all time....
...but, where is amazon coming up with the names of the principal characters in the movie?!? What about CARY GRANT & INGRID BERGMAN, two of the best actors/actresses ever? It seems as if this would be a very difficult mistake to make; it's pretty obvious on the cover of the movie even if you know nothing about the movie itself. Can't amazon do any better than this? I think a wonderful classic like this with such amazing and timeless actors deserves better.
Rating: - Romantic Noir
Hitchcock framed this wartime noir film around a debonair Cary Grant and the youthful beauty of Ingrid Bergman. Luxuriant black and white cinematography was added to this elegant love story set in the world of secret agents, giving it a lusciously romantic glow not found in his other films. The love story plays out against mounting suspense, making this one of his best films.
From sun-drenched Miami to exotic Brazil, this intertwined story of spies and romance is exciting to watch. ... Read More
Rating: - Flawless Hitchcock
It is often rumored that Hitchcock's favorite among his films was "Shadow of a Doubt" but for this reviewer, the 1946 "Notorious" heads that list. Equal parts suspense/film noir and high-octane romance, with a superb cast of Golden Age stars, an expert script by Ben Hecht, and a brooding black and white production by David O. Zelznick, "Notorious" is simply flawless, with scenes ensconced in Hollywood's Hall of Legend.

Rating: - Another Hitch Masterpiece
This 1946 classic stars Ingrid Bergman as Alicia Huberman, an immature party girl who after learning that her father has committed suicide in prison (he was convicted of being a German spy) is recruited by U.S. agent T.R. Devlin (Cary Grant) to go undercover and spy on her father's former Nazi friends in Rio de Janeiro. This is her big chance to clean her name, and pay back to her beloved country what she feels her father has taken away and betrayed. Right from the very get go the audience can plainly ... Read More
Rating:  - okay...
It is a good movie in which to see Grant and Bergman act together but the story just wasn't there. It was rather boring and incomplete.
