IMDB
When her father is revealed to be a Nazi spy, Alicia (Ingrid Bergman) is asked to turn a favor for the US government, where she would spy on a group of Nazi friends in South America. She is in love with her contact, Devlin (Cary Grant), but ends up marrying her target in order to get to deeper secrets.
A pretty good movie, but I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed. I was expecting to be blown away, but I sadly was not. It is the same feeling I had when I recently watched “The Lady Vanishes.” This is not a case of me disliking Alfred Hitchcock--I love “Vertigo,” “Rear Window,” “The Trouble with Harry,” “Psycho” and “The Birds.” This is still a really good movie, but it just isn’t on the level of those others to me. I would probably enjoy it more on a second viewing.
8/10
