Summary: Grant and Bergman are Sensational!
Review: This is a wonderful movie, and I think Hitchcock's best. Grant plays an American agent who recruits and falls in love with Bergman's character. She plays Alicia, whose father was convicted of being a traitor and a Nazi. These two have remarkable chemistry, and are still one of the most luminous on-screen couples in my opinion. This movie has it all, suspense, romance, thrills and chills. What I most love about this movie is the back and forth between Bergman and Grant. I LOVE Grant's character in this movie, playing a hard-nosed agent (fighting scene with Bergman at the beginning) and a caring and sensitive man (at the end when he carries her down the stairs). Their relationship reminds me a lot of the Rhett Butler, Scarlett O'Hara relationship in that they want each other and then they pretend they don't. This movie is for all ages, and if you are a fan of either one of these actors, do see it. You'll LOVE IT!

Summary: a very sexy Ingrid Bergman
Review: Another Hitchcock classic. A romantic thriller featuring a very sexy Ingrid Bergman and always handsome Cary Grant. Bergman is outstanding as a party girl turned World War II spy in Brazil. Grant hates himself for falling in love with her. A suspensful movie with much deceit and romance. The DVD image is sharp and clear.

Summary: Bergman is as beatiful as ever
Review: Excellant romantic thriller from director Hitchcock starring Grant and Bergman. Bergman is as beatiful as ever and Claude Rains gives a great performance. The DVD transfer is pretty good. Minus a few errors and no bonus features, over all its crisp and clean. A must for Hitchcock and/or Bergman (one of my favorites) fans.

Summary: Notoriously Entertaining
Review: A finely crafted, sumptuously produced romantic thriller that has the distinction of featuring director Hitchcock, and stars Grant and Bergman at their collective best. Even so, Claude Rains manages to dominate almost every scene in which he appears; his Oscar-nominated portrayal of the lovesick mama's boy engaged in espionage comes off as supremely menacing, emotionally ambiguous, and yet oddly sympathetic ... all at the same time.The film-to-DVD transfer is quite good. There are a couple of jumps and pops in the master print that are a bit jarring, but overall it's a crisp and clean presentation with great contrast. Although the package doesn't mention it, the DVD does offer chapter search/scene selection which is always a nice perk. There aren't any of the bonus features that we spoiled DVD collectors are coming to expect (trailers, biographical sketches, etc.), but it's still a more than acceptable edition of a truly classic film.

Summary: notorious
Review: i'm hopelessly in love with bergman which motivates me to gives any bergman film five stars. the underlying chemistry between grant and bergman is very dynamic. the push and pull of emotions between the two lovers creates the main tension of the film. the secondary tension arises obviously from the suprense prevailing from the war time scadals by the nazis in rio. i am most impressed with the innocence bergman portrays through her use of facial expressions during all the critical junctions troughout the film. bergman is truely a hopeless romantic in need of an audience to watch her.

Summary: My fave'
Review: Wow! this is truly an amazing film. Hitchcock's best, Grant's best, Bergman's best and so on. It is one of the darkest, and deepest roles for Grant, and the best of hitchcock, or any other film! Underrated, even at 5 stars! Bergman plays the daughter of a convicted Nazi traitor. Grant is the American agent who presses her to do some undercover work with Claude Rains... and both fall in love with her. Gripping and powerful, there will never be a better film than this. See it... NOW!

Summary: One of Hitchcock's Best!
Review: Notorious is not one of Hitchcock's better known films, but it certainly is one of his best. A fantastic love story intertwined with a suspenseful hunt for Nazi war criminals. Everyone will love this movie!

Summary: Notorious
Review: This film one of the elite Hitchcock films, one of the great romance films of all time, and a great suspense film as well. Ingrid Bergman has never been better,(not even in Casablanca) nor has Cary Grant. This film looks great, even though it is(as of the year 2000) 53 years old. The VHS print is extremely clear and in focus, so the DVD must be fantastic. Do yourself a favor-buy or rent this instead of the latest insipid "New Release" at the local video store.

Summary: One of Hitchcock's best!
Review: I adore Alfred Hitchcock movies, and this is one of my favorites. Ingrid Bergman puts herself in a dangerous position in order to help catch a German spy. She also falls in love with a dashing Cary Grant but has to put their relationship on hold to help her country. A thriller and love story in one. Hitchcock is THE master of suspense.

Summary: Suspense out of nothingness... quite a feat!
Review: This is one of the great Hitchcock films, and one of the great films of all time. In this age where we have become used to vivid and realistic gore, multi-million dollar special effects, etc., it's truly an education to see how suspense can be created without any of these tools. The final thirty minutes or so just leave you in chills, simply by suggesting the "possibility" of disastrous consequences. If you can learn to appreciate how a master like Hitchcock works the human imagination, you are well on your way to being a more enlightened fan of cinema!
