Description

With this twisted love story, Alfred Hitchcock summoned darker shades of suspense and passion by casting two of Hollywood’s most beloved stars starkly against type. Ingrid Bergman plays Alicia, an alluring woman with a checkered past recruited by Devlin (Cary Grant), a suave, mysterious intelligence agent, to spy for the U.S. Only after she has fallen for Devlin does she learn that her mission is to seduce a Nazi industrialist (Claude Rains) hiding out in South America. Coupling inventive cinematography with brilliantly subtle turns from his mesmerizing leads, Hitchcock orchestrates an anguished romance shot through with deception and moral ambiguity. A thriller of rare perfection, Notorious represents a pinnacle of both its director’s legendary career and classic Hollywood cinema.

    • " A Man doesn't tell a woman what to do. She tells herself."
Almost all critics and fans place "Notorious" among the finest of Hitchcock's masterpieces. Maybe not full of psychological horror as with Psycho or terrifying phobias as Vertigo. Nor the homage to voyeurism of Rear Window. No, this film is a dark as night suspenseful spy film noir with one of the most complex, painfilled romances seen on the screen. Hitchcock hits his full stylistic stride here. The one of kind camera work. You'll never think of a simple key ever the same way again! Or the 3 minute long "kiss" that outsmarted the censors. The use of light and shade to highlight narrative and emotions. Dialog that says one thing and means another. Cary Grant takes a risk and plays against type. Claude Rains is as always solid as the Nazi occupying one of the corners of the love triangle. And of course, Ingrid Bergman strides through the film like a colossus. Radiant in beauty. Painful in vulnerability and yet icy strength just underneath. When Bergman cries on screen you really feel it in your bones! The Criterion Blu-ray remastering off of a 4K scan does its best on a pretty marginal and multiple sourced film. Grain is for the most part tight allowing for good detail with nice shadows. Nicks, marks and other film damage has been removed almost totally. A clear, easy to hear dialog is presented in LPCM mono with good fidelity on the score. No distortions or tinniness is present. Typical Criterion supplements are extremely deep and wide ranging with several hours of fantastic info and commentary. So, if you are a lover of classic cinema and especially the work of "The Master" you should have a copy of this in the collection. Highly recommended. ... show more

PHOTO 1: MGM blu-ray issued in 2012 PHOTO 2: Hitchcock’s cameo @ 1:04:47 on the Criterion blu-ray PHOTO 3-5: Life Magazine article from 1946 PHOTO 6: Possible Blooper @ 17:09 PHOTO 7: Hitchcock worshiped Ingrid Bergman The new 2019 Criterion Collection blu-ray of ‘Notorious’ comes into direct competition with the 2012 MGM blu-ray: Notorious (hitchcock) [Blu-ray ] The Criterion blu-ray has the magical words “4K digital restoration”, giving it a theoretical advantage over MGM’s ten-year-old 2-K (?) digital restoration, but the actual improvement is not dramatic, at least on my 40 inch, five year-old JVC TV. Both blu-rays look quite good. Of course, if you own a state-of-the-art 70 inch 4-K television (or plan to), the choice is obvious. Making the choice easier, the price of the old MGM blu-ray is twice that of the new Criterion blu-ray (apparently the MGM is out-of-print). COMMON TO MGM & CRITERION: --- Uncompressed 2.0 mono soundtrack in English --- English SDH subtitles for the feature film --- Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of ‘Notorious’ from 1948, starring Ingrid Bergman, with Joseph Cotton in the Cary Grant role (60 minutes) --- Trailers --- Audio Commentaries - each blu-ray has two separate commentary tracks: ------ Criterion has Rudy Behlmer (my favorite, recorded way back in 1990 for Laserdisc) and Marian Keane (recorded in 2001 for DVD) ------ MGM has Richard Jewell and Drew Casper (both recorded in 2008 for DVD) Fortunately there has not been that much new Hitchcock scholarship lately (sorry cinéastes), so none of this material is outdated. BONUS MATERIAL UNIQUE TO MGM: --- Isolated music and effects track - unfortunately composer Roy Webb was no Bernard Hermann. Compare to the final 20 minutes on the isolated music track on the blu-ray of ‘North by Northwest’. --- "The Ultimate Romance: The Making of 'Notorious'" (28 minutes) --- "Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Spymaster" (13 minutes) --- "The Key to Hitchcock: 1979 American Film Institute Award” (3 minutes) --- Hitchcock audio-only interviews with Peter Bogdanovich and Francois Truffaut (18 minutes) BONUS MATERIAL UNIQUE TO CRITERION: --- “Once Upon a Time ... ‘Notorious’, a 2009 Franco-British TV documentary by David Thompson in English (mostly) and subtitled French (52 minutes) --- Interview with Hitchcock biographer Donald Spoto (21 minutes) --- Analysis of the film’s visual style by cinematographer John Bailey (23 minutes) --- Scene analysis by film scholar David Bordwell (30 minutes) --- Analysis of Hitchcock’s storyboarding process by filmmaker Daniel Raim (16 minutes) --- British newsreel footage from 1948 of Ingrid Bergman and Hitchcock arriving at Heathrow Airport (1 minute) --- Booklet essay by critic Angelica Jade Bastién The quality and quantity of the Criterion bonus material puts MGM in the shade. Most of the Criterion bonus material from their 2001 DVD has been deleted - a lot of text articles on DVD (even the obscure short story that inspired the screenplay) and replaced by ninety minutes of newly filmed blu-ray bonus material, plus an hour-long 2009 TV documentary. Scholarly and entertaining. I plan to sell my MGM blu-ray, but keep my old MGM DVD for the commentaries. The luxury of having four different commentaries appeals to my O.C.D. Old DVDs: 2001 Criterion DVD: Notorious (The Criterion Collection) (different bonus material) 2008 MGM DVD: Notorious (hitchcock) (same bonus material as MGM blu-ray) Photo 6: POSSIBLE BLOOPER: Alfred Hitchcock was famous for his cameo appearances, and for the artificiality of the rear projection in his films. The rear projections in ‘Notorious’ are especially unrealistic. Either Hitchcock (or the studio technicians) didn’t care - hard to believe - or this was intentional. Hitchcock’s way of telling the audience “Don’t worry. It’s only a movie”. Something really weird happens @ 17:09 on the Criterion blu-ray: Cary Grant and Ingmar Bergman are seated on an airliner. In the window behind them, you can see a rear projection of the clouds going by. Apparently the projectionist loaded the film backwards, because for the next ten seconds the airplane is flying backwards. ‘Notorious’ (1946) was the ninth of thirty films directed by Alfred Hitchcock during his American period. Producer David O. Selznick brought him to America in 1939, but Selznick sold the rights for ‘Notorious’ to RKO, where Hitchcock was happy to be his own producer. It was the second of three films Hitchcock made with Ingrid Bergman, the second of four films with Cary Grant, and the only time both appeared together in a film directed by Hitchcock. The new blu-ray of ‘Notorious’ is welcome, but I am still hoping for blu-rays of the only two films from Hitchcock’s American period that have not been released on blu-ray: ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ (1941) and ‘Stage Fright’ (1950). ALFRED HITCHCOCK FILMOGRAPHY: Alfred Hitchcock directed 56 feature films (not counting short subjects). One film, 'The Mountain Eagle' (1927) is lost. 'Blackmail' (1929) is counted twice - it was Hitchcock's final silent film, and was also filmed as his first talkie. PART ONE: BRITISH PERIOD, 1925 - 1939 25 films survive: 11 are on blu-ray (5 of these are on Criterion) PART TWO: HOLLYWOOD PERIOD, 1940 -1976 30 films: 28 are on blu-ray.

    • Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman!
One of Hitch’s best, it got my started on watching a wide selection. Grant is harder, darker character, but does well. Ingrid is very watchable. I’m glad I have this DVD in my collection.
