Review of Notorious

This film brought the end to the era in which Ingrid Bergman was the greatest. Bergman can be described only as luminous. She is SO talented and is just simply wonderful. Grant, debonair as ever, is perfect opposite Bergman. Their famous love scene is CLASSIC!!! For Hitchcock, this was his last hit for a while and it wasn't until Stranger's On A Train that he rebounded (Bergman returned with Anastasia).

It was typical of the Academy to ignore the works of Hitchcock, Grant and Bergman (why, Hitchcock and Grant never even won the Oscar!!!) in this masterpiece. Certainly, Bergman is better here than in her Oscar winning Gaslight. *****/*****
