A decent story but way too over the top with the 'psychoanalysis'. There are many things I liked about this film such as the plot line of the murder mystery and the chase, however there are also a lot of things I didn't like such as the portrayal of women and how it took itself w... read more
Though the Salvador Dali dream sequence is the obvious highlight, the entire film feels like a dream. Beautiful black and white images and all the twists you would expect from the master director.
Ingrid Bergman steals the show as Dr. Constance Peterson, Gregory Peck however, I found to be a little wooden. To be honest, all in all this isn't one of Hitchcock's best and it would have been a fairly forgettable film if it weren't for the amazing dream sequences by Salvador Da... read more
Another fantastic Hitchcock film, it's a cool psychological thriller, and it's a bit surreal too, which makes it even cooler. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
"The secrets of who you are and what has made you run away from yourself - all these secrets are buried in your brain. But, you don't want to look at them."
Spellbound reminds me of Marnie in a lot of ways, which is not necessarily a good thing. Both movies deal with represse... read more
I think remembering this movie for the Dali dream sequence is a total cheat, I will always remember it for the great story and unconventional romance. It's a lot darker themed than some of Hitchcock's other work at this time, especially with the razor blade scene. I think I like ... read more
Ingrid Bergman stars as the career-oriented psychiatrist who falls for the new head-of-staff at "Green Manor". Or is he the new head-of-staff? Gregory Peck is so tall and handsome, she just can't believe he'd be guilty of any wrong-doing, and so she takes him under her wing and... read more
Minor Hitchcock film with superior cast and fantastic dream sequence designed by Salvador Dali. The psychological aspect is very dated, however as with all Hitchcock there are interesting things here but overall it's not one of his best.
Hitchcock's fascination with (arguably pop) psychology is brought to the fore as Ingrid Bergman tries to unlock Gregory Peck's repressed memories. It's basis in fact is a little dubious, but it works as a fascinating mystery, and there are some memorable visuals by Salvador Dali.
I don't agree with her much, but Pauline Kael was right about this one. Full Review
It may not be first-rank Hitchcock, but even second-tier Hitchcock is better than what most other directors produce. Full Review
Made in an age when master shots often became a standard scene style, Hitchcock shows some real thought behind his composition. Full Review
A commercial and critical hit in its day, this Best Picture Oscar nominee has seen its standing slip in the ensuing decades, as it's never mentioned on any list of Alfred Hitchcock's best works. That'... Full Review
It has a lot of great stuff, not least of which is the odd dream sequence, designed by none other than Salvador Dali. Full Review
Uneven film, with fascinating dream images. Full Review
One of Hollywood's most explicit films about psychoanalysis, Spellbound takes a dubious and contrived approach to the subject, but the stars (Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck)shine and their love story... Full Review
One of the director's most laughably dated films. Full Review
Severely dated but supremely entertaining psychological thriller
