41. "RE: Anyone with views on Notorious?" In response to In response to 13
I saw this a month ago and fortunately i've had the opportunity to see a lot of Hitchcock films shown in cinemas in London. i've just seen Vertigo this evening and posted on it. But I never got around to commenting on Notorious.
I think Notorious could be the best film Hitchcock made (my opinion of course). I think it is the most thrilling, brilliant screenplay, fantastic acting, superb pacing of the film and when the end came I just wanted the film to continue. It captured the second world war era exactly right (it was filmed in 1946). I'm definitely going to get this to keep on dvd.
