One of Hitchcock’s simpler stories is pure cinematic entertainment from start to finish. He somehow seamlessly draws together the tale of love-torn couple Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman with Claude Rains’ Nazi mastermind and Bergman’s introduction to the world of espionage and intrigue, as if it was a perfectly natural experience we all have to go through. Who else could turn an ice-box with gradually decreasing numbers of Champagne bottles into dramatic narrative, underpinning it with Grant and Bergman sneaking around like naughty teenagers looking for a secret place to make out? This is certainly one of Hitchcock’s finest movies.
