Spellbound

Damn. Five Hitchcock movies, and they get better and better.
Dr. Constance Petersen (Ingrid Bergman) is a psychoanalyst at Green Manors who is perceived by the other doctors as detached and emotionless. Dr. Murchison (Leo G. Carroll), the director of the hospital, is being forced into retirement. His replacement is the much younger Dr. Anthony Edwardes (Gregory Peck). But Petersen notices Edwardes' odd behavior...
This definitely had the Hitchcock tone and feel to it. I liked the dream sequence by Salvador Dali. The chemistry between Bergman and Peck is good, but not strong enough. But overall, it's a damn good psychological thriller.
My Rating: *****
