Rating: 8 out of 10. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. `Notorious' is a unique, distinguished, and brilliant suspense film from Hitch. Starring Cary Grant as a shadowy American spy T.R. Devlin, and Ingrid Bergman as the notorious yet patriotic Alicia Huberman, the daughter of a convicted Nazi.
Devlin recruits Huberman as a spy to infiltrate the Rio operations of renegade Nazi Alexander Sebastian, played by Claude Rains.
The movie is full of famous visual Hitchcockian scenes; most between the two lead characters, but the utmost haunting scene is the subtle one at the end where we envision the fate of Sebastian.
Hitch's last big success of the Nineteen-Forties, and Oscar nominated for best writing-original screenplay (Ben Hecht) and best supporting actor (Claude Rains), `Notorious' is highly recommended.
