Good movie
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2004
I've always liked Notorious, but, until recently, it hasn't been one of my absolute favorite Hitchcock films. However, recently I've gained an appreciation for Alfred Hitchcock's more personal films. Lighter, more humorous films like The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Strangers on a Train, Rear Window, North By Northwest, Psycho (Hitch called this a black comedy), The Birds and Frenzy, to name a few, are masterpieces and rank among my favorite films of all time. But the films I have gained much more appreciation for in the past few years are those like Shadow of a Doubt, Vertigo and Notorious. Shadow of a Doubt showed that monsters can live among us, even in the most innocuous of settings and may even be someone we care about. Vertigo showed obsessive love taken to the extreme with deadly consequences. And Notorious shows just how hard it can be for someone to express love for another.
Like in many of Hitchcock's films, the central point of the story is masked by a plotline of suspense and intrigue. In this case, Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman) must marry Alexander Sebastian (Claude Rains), an ex-Nazi in exile in Brazil, in order to infiltrate his organization. With the help of U.S. agent Devlin (Cary Grant), she finds out that Sebastian is stockpiling uranium (the MacGuffin). On the surface, it's a straightforward espionage tale.
However, the film, at its very core, is a tale of frustrated love. Specifically, Devlin can't bring himself to express what he feels for Alicia and must watch helplessly while she marries Sebastian. Devlin knows that he would jeopardize the entire mission if he tells Alicia he loves her and this repression begins to eat him up inside. Even at the beginning of the film when Alicia has fallen deeply in love with Devlin and tell him so, he can't bring himself to return that love, even though he feels just as she does. Cary Grant, usually charming, plays one of his darkest roles brilliantly. He shows his longing for Alicia in every expression on his face. Ingrid Bergman, likewise, shows the frustration of having to marry a man she despises while pining for the affections of the man she truly loves -- a man she thinks doesn't love her. The emotions onscreen are sometimes so raw its almost painful to watch. When Devlin finally tells Alicia how he really feels about her at the climax of the film, the scene ranks as one of the most emotional in screen history.
The movies often make it seem so easy to find true love. In Notorious, however, Alfred Hitchcock shows how painful and just how difficult it is to just say, "I love you" to someone you care about. Everyone has had situations where they were too afraid to tell someone they cared about that they loved him/her and have wondered what would have happened had they done so. It's agonizing to think that you may have missed your chance for happiness with someone who loves you as much as you love them. Alfred Hitchcock brilliantly recognizes those feelings in Notorious -- that's what makes this one of his best.

I wasn’t that impressed with the start of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious but it grew on me. I was a bit disappointed at first because it comes off as a melodrama with Gary Grant and Ingrid Bergman falling in love. Then it gets more complicated as the men in the film focus upon Bergman’s character as a woman. For instance, Grant plays an American agent who talks with his bosses about using Bergman as a spy. They all focus upon whether she is a “proper” woman or not. It turns out they picked her because she’s good with men which they all look down upon morally but feel is perfect for their aims. To them she’s just a tool, specifically a hoe. Then there’s a whole betrayal section of the story which really brings out the Hitchcock elements he’s famous for.

It doesn't get much better than this -- a Hitchcock film starring Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant and Claude Raines! What a treat it is to see all of this talent -- behind, and in front of, the camera. The story of a star-crossed romance set against the backdrop of post-WWII Miami and Rio, the film has a great script and terrific acting. The direction is awesome; Hitchcock did some wonderful camera work here -- innovative tracking and crane shots that are a delight to see.
This Criterion Collection DVD edition is more expensive but I think it's worth it -- a lot of time and effort have been taken to restore the film and the soundtrack, and it really looks and sounds great. Also, the many bonus features are excellent: excerpts from 'The Song of the Dragon', a two-part Saturday Evening Post short story on which the film was based; fascinating production correspondence by David O. Selznick, Ingrid Bergman, J. Edgar Hoover and the head of the Production Code Administration (censors); rear projection and production stills, including wonderful shots of the scaffolding used to get that breathtaking crane shot from a stairtop balcony right down to the key in Bergman's hand; script excerpts from deleted scenes and alternative endings; a music and sound effects only track; trailers; the complete 1948 Lux radio Theatre version of the story, starring Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotten; terrific voiceover narration with film scholar Marian Keene discussing artistic choices and film historian Rudy Behlmer discussing technique; and a touching story about the fate of the Unica key -- the one used in the film. Language and subtitles are English only.
This is a wonderful package for one of Hitchcock's best films. Highly recommended.

Extremely well done.
I must have seen this as a teen or young adult. Some scenes were so familiar.
Superb casting: mesmerizingly beautiful Ingrid Bergman! Cary Grant with reserve and irony! Such excellent villains!
Loyalty and betrayal. Every character. Do you love the man who pimps a beautiful woman to seduce his enemy? Do you love the woman who betrays the love of both men in order to do her duty? Do you love the man who forsakes his ideals and falls passionately in love with beauty and youth, and then exposes her to her assassins? Remarkable film.
Treat yourself.

Ingrid Bergman is the "notorious" Alicia, whose father has been sentenced to jail for being a Nazi spy. She, in turn, is recruited as a spy to work alongside Cary Grant (Devlin) in Rio de Janeiro to uncover the plottings of Nazi Claude Rains (Alexander) and his gang. Her mission is to get close to Rains and report back. She marries him but Rains discovers what she is up to and colludes with his mother Leopoldine Konstatin (Mme Sebastian) to dispose of his new wife. Can Cary Grant save Bergman from what has been planned for her...?
This film ends up as being worth the watch, despite a bad beginning. The story takes a while to get going as we are subjected to a rather dull romance played out between an unlikeable Cary Grant and a miscast Ingrid Bergman. This is not the first time I have seen Bergman miscast as a street girl - see Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde (1941). She has a vulnerable, feminine face that is very good at registering certain expressions, ie, realizing that something is wrong, paranoid glances, etc but she is totally inappropriate as a wild, drunk, party-going type. She does, however, come into her element once Claude Rains is introduced and her performance becomes credible as she is vital to all the scenes of suspense, a mood that she is expert at playing. Cary Grant, however, is just unlikeable. He becomes likable at the end when he goes in to save Bergman but this is only because we know he is Cary Grant who is likable in all his other films. His character has an attitude problem and given that he is a spy and schooled in the ways of being a spy, his treatment of Bergman is totally unconvincing when she is given the assignment of getting close to Rains.
My two favourite of the cast are Leopoldine Konstatin and Claude Rains. They stand out for me as they manage to let the audience know that they have a few more layers of nastiness up their sleeve and you don't quite know what they are capable of. Konstatin, in particular, is good at being evil.
Get past the beginning nonsense and the film gets it's act together with some tense scenes and at the end of the film, you feel that it has been worth the watch.

The film itself is Hitchcock - hokum but fun, excellent acting, direction and photography. Fine, if you can hear what they are saying. The Freemantle version of the DVD made in 2008 is a disgrace as far as the sound goes, and to add insult to injury lacks subtitles.

What an absolutely fantastic film!!!
I've always loved it and watch it every now & then and still enjoy it so much :)
The chemistry between the leads is magnetic, the 'baddies' are subtly and worryingly threatening and the story and scenery excellent. This is one of the greats! I thoroughly recommend it.

A Quiet Best
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 13, 2012
Many reviewers and critics mentioned "Notorious" as one of Hitchcock's best (if not THE best). I couldn't agree more, and I was very happy to make the choice to buy this DVD. I'm torn when to decide which movie is the best, so I won't go there, but I must say this is very very good. I usually divide his movies between the best category and the popular category, this movie has high points in quality, but rates low in popularity (among the audience, not the critics).
The DVD edition (from Freemantle media) is not the best there could be, and for me, the lack of subtitles (even in English!) always bring a challenge, because I'm not from a english speaking country (I'm fine with english subs). The extras are interesting, but are weak when compared to Criterion's. If you really want to see this movie (and you should) and don't want to spend a lot of 's (and speak english fluently) this is your edition. (4,5/5).
