If you’re in the mood for old Hollywood in black-and-white, Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious delivers.
The 1946 undercover thriller pairs Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant at their most magnetic, with suspense and romance perfectly intertwined.
It might just be Hitchcock’s best — everyone firing on all cylinders.
Written by Hollywood’s “Shakespeare” Ben Hecht, the noir script is said to have inspired Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels.
Either way, Notorious set the template for the suave, chilling characters that still define cinema today.
