A selection of feature films directed by the master of suspense
starring Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck
with Rhonda Fleming, Leo G. Carroll
Alfred Hitchcock's first excursion into the realm of psychiatry-a field later brilliantly explored in Marnie. Beautifully photographed by George Barnes with music by Miklos Rozsa, Spellbound is an exciting and mentally stimulating film only jarred by the strange drama sequences credited to surrealist painter Salvador Dali.
The film is not without its humour and Hitchcock pokes fun at psychiatrists, particularly in a delightful staffroom sequence at the mental home.
