Notorious (1946 Alcock Hitchfred)

Were you to print out every shot from this cinematic masterpiece, you would have a masterclass in film-making. By illustration:







It's a fried solid gold masterpiece, Grant and Bergman terrific (notice for example long take where they fight in her car), matched by Claude Rains, Leopoldine Konstantin, Reinhold Schunzel, Louis Calhern. Written by the incomparable Ben Hecht, photographed by Ted Tetzlaff (amazing focus pulling - uncredited), music Roy Webb.
