Notorious
Notorious is one of Hitchcock's more star-studded films, featuring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. Bergman plays a daughter of a Nazi spy, who is recruited to spy on the Nazis by Grant. What follows is the beginning of a bizarre love triangle involving one of the Nazis. This film is regarded as one of Hitchcock's best, and a film classic. However, compared to the other films that I have seen, this was one of my least favorites. As a teenage male, films involving romance do not typically appeal to me. I felt that this film lacked Hitchcock's classic suspense, as you got the feeling of how the film was going to end very early in the film. While not one of the greatest films in his library, Notorious is still a good view for those interested in film.

Very intelligent comment. I have shied away from this film, because I think the character's issues are difficult for young people to feel connected to. I programmed it really just to show something about Hitchcock's psyche, but I'm not surprised it wouldn't resonate for you.
