A 1946 Hitchcock film starring
Cary Grant,
Ingrid Bergman and
Claude Rains. The story takes place post
WWII, where a
Nazi agent is convicted of
treason and U.S. intelligence agents learn that his daughter
Alicia (Bergman) could help them trap another Nazi who's living in
Brazil. Alicia is persuaded to cooperate by
Agent Devlin (Grant) to travel to
Rio and become friends with Nazi Alexander Sebastian (Rains). Devlin and Alicia
fall for each other, but numerous problems arise when Sebastian asks Alicia for her hand in
marriage.
All of the actors are at their best here. While it is not my favorite Hitchcock film, I still enjoy it and managed to "borrow" a copy from my mother, for a little too long. She let me keep it if I let her have my copy of "Monkey Business," another Cary Grant film. "Notorious" was Grant's 49th picture. He and Bergman carry excellent on-screen chemistry in the movie, and they remained good friends after the film was finished.
