From the disorienting days immediately after the Second World War comes this famous Hitchcock thriller. A suave intel operative (Cary Grant) recruits a traitor’s daughter (Ingrid Bergman) to infiltrate a cabal of Nazis who’ve escaped to South America. In the process the pair falls in love, which is inconvenient at best when her efforts to figure out what kind of no good the bad guys are up to leads her into a sham marriage with one of the chief conspirators (Claude Rains). Though the romance gets tedious in spots – give me spies over love-struck couples – the script is solid and the actors more than equal to the task. Worth seeing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
