One of Alfred Hitchcock’s great classics, this romantic thriller features a cast to kill for: Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and Claude Rains. Bergman plays the daughter of a disgraced father who is recruited by American agents to infiltrate a post-World War II spy ring in Brazil.

Her control agent is Grant, who treats her with disdain while developing a deep romantic bond with her. Her assignment: to marry the suspected head of the ring (Rains) and get the goods on everyone involved. Danger, deceit, betrayal–and, yes, romance–all come together as the film builds to a terrific (and surprising) climax. Stunning performances. Ben Hecht’s excellent script, and Hitchcock’s direction at its best make NOTORIOUS a perfect film.
