Spellbound (Hitchcock)

Gregory Peck is sooooo young and cute in it, and Bergman is amazing; I could listen to her speak all day.That accent is like a cold drink.The movie itself is on the affected side, though, and feels like a tic-y exercise at times.I don’t know how it’s regarded by Hitchcock scholars, but it reminded me of To Catch A Thief — not much underpinning it, but still diverting.

    Hi, me again, with the Hitchcock class. Though I am by no means a Hitchcock scholar the general feeling I got from my professor and the books we read was that of “meh.” David O Selznick pretty much forced Hitch to make this movie.

    I liked it though. Mostly because I was pleasantly surprised by young Peck. I had been excepting “To Kill a Mockingbird” Peck and found this version much better. Word on the street is he was pretty dim though.
