THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

Friday 13 April 2012

Notorious, 1946




Director: ALFRED HITCHCOCK

Stars: Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains




Alicia (Bergman) is asked by the government to spy on a group of Nazis in South America. She already has a connection because her father was good friends with one of them- a Mr. Sebastian (Rains). Devlin (Grant) escorts Alicia to South America, and while waiting for more particulars about her assignment, the two fall in love, though with the whole espionage situation going on, things are a bit complicated.

They stage a meeting with Mr. Sebastian, who is thrilled to see her, and soon begins to woo her. When asked by the government to reciprocate his feelings, Alicia pretends to be in love with him, all the while reporting to Devlin about the people that come and go in the house.

After a few weeks, she becomes engaged to Sebastian, but he wonders if she truly loves him, and if he suspects her, her life is in serious danger.

CAMEO: Hitch's cameo in this one is an hour into the film: at a party, he is at the champagne table.
