    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sir Alfred Hitchcock was a big admirer of Salvador Dalí's work, and realized that no one understood dream imagery better. Producer David O. Selznick was opposed to using Dalí from an expense point of view, until he realized the marketing mileage that could be gained from such a hiring.
    • Goofs
      The burn on J.B.'s hand is only visible when Petersen notices it. It disappears in every other scene where his hand is visible (like when he is sitting on the couch with Dr. Brulov).
    • Quotes

      Dr. Alex Brulov: Good night and sweet dreams... which we'll analyze at breakfast.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits: THE FAULT . . . . . IS NOT IN OUR STARS, BUT IN OURSELVES . . . . . - SHAKESPEARE

      Our story deals with psychoanalysis, the method by which modern science treats the emotional problems of the sane.

      The analyst seeks only to induce the patient to talk about his hidden problems, to open the locked doors of his mind.

      Once the complexes that have been disturbing the patient are uncovered and interpreted, the illness and confusion disappear.....and the devils of unreason are driven from the human soul.
    • Alternate versions
      The original theatrical version had an Overture and Exit Music by Miklós Rózsa, to a total running time of 118m09s. It was suppressed from distribution until the 1999 restoration based on the negatives of Selznick library (that came to be owned by Walt Disney Company via ABC-TV) and two DVD editions.

    Spellbound (1945)

    **** (out of 4)

    Alfred Hitchcock's classic (and underrated going by IMDb scores) thriller about a psychiatrist (Ingrid Bergman) who falls in love with another doctor (Gregory Peck) but then learns the man isn't really a doctor but suffers from amnesia and might have killed the man he was pretending to be. This was only my second time viewing this and the first time in God knows how many years but I really loved every single second of the film so there's no question I'll be watching it a lot more in upcoming years. I thought the film had a high level of suspense running from start to finish with the usual great style from Hitchcock. the brilliant music score also helps things wonderfully, especially during the highly intense ski scene. Both Bergman and Peck are terrific together and they really sell the story and make us care about the two characters. As great as those two our the film belongs to Michael Chekhov who adds great comic support. The love scene was also highly passionate and the dream sequence packs a nice punch as well. The crowd I watched this with seemed to be really involved like I was as there were all sorts of little "tense" noises as you could hear people gasping and holding their breathe.
