  Brilliant film. Thank you, Hitchcock for another great suspense. Grant and Bergman have awesome chemistry and style. Another film that simply draws you in.

  Notorious
  
  Another masterpiece from Hitchcock.
  
  Ingrid Bergman was a wonderful actress, well-matched with Cary Grant in this film.

  A thoroughly gripping spy story together with a totally believable love angle. The acting is brilliant and Hitchcock demonstrates his talents to the full.

  Classic Hitchcock - tense and atmospheric
  
  Notorious could be seen to stand for a large part of the Hitchcock catalogue, in that so much of what one expects from his thrillers is here. We have tense, ... read more »

  Slow paced...
  
  Another Hitchcock movie which moves along quite slowly. Very little in the way of suspense and not that much going on that kept me interested.

  disappointing
  
  Somehow this seemed very flat and I couldn't really get into it. The Duran Duran song I prefer to this film.
