Ingrid Bergman plays the daughter of a convicted Nazi agent, recruited herself by an Amerian intelligence officer (Cary Grant) to infiltrate a ring of Nazis in Rio de Janiero. Hitchcock directs and suspense happens. Not to be confused with Notorious (2009) about the life of rapper Notorious B.I.G. That was different.

Loved this movie. I wrote about my love for it in the Hitchcock thread. Four and half of 'em.

There's this period of a few weeks after they arrive in Rio, when they're waiting for her assignment, and the two develop the relationship that becomes the cause of so much of the later conflict. Don't they kind of fudge that part?

Y'know it's been a long while since I've seen it and maybe there was some fudging. I mostly remember those scenes with Claude Rains and the party and the wine and the great crane shot plus some probably fake Rio scenery.

Got it in my head thanks to you.

Yeah, everything in Rio de Janiero is done with rear projections. It looks less fakey than Spellbound, though.

A lot of references to classic flim in 80s music --- songs taken from film titles ("Notorious," "Tender Is the Night") and actors' names ("Bette Davis Eyes," "Bella Lugosi's Dead," "Robert DeNiro's Waiting"); albums taken from film titles (The Red Shoes); and bands whose names come from classic characters (Duran Duran), settings (Heaven 17), film posters (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), or directors (The Cocteau Twins). A lot of cineastes going into music-making at the time.

Don't forget "Key Largo" by Bertie Higgins. I wish I could.

Edgy MD Oct 19 2010 08:02 AM Re: Notorious (1946)

Cineaste, indeed. Hey, Bertie, "Here's lookin' at you, kid" was from another movie!

Can I derail a thread or what?
