Notorious is considered Hitchcock’s most perfect film. The intimacy between Bergman and Grant, the camera that glides through scenes like another character, and the exciting story of Nazis and smuggled uranium make Notorious a sure classic. It is Hitchcock’s most enduring love story and the film that brought him the title “Master of Suspense.” Bergman plays the daughter of a convicted Nazi spy. Grant plays an American agent. They fall madly in love waiting for orders to gather information on a group of German scientists in South America. Rains plays a prominent member of a secret Nazi society, who is hopelessly in love with her. Notorious elevated the suspense thriller genre by adding psychological undertones and morally ambiguous characters with human weaknesses. The themes of love vs duty, and betrayal vs patriotism make this film universally appealing — a love story wrapped in a psychological thriller. — Leanne von Mittenwald
