Hitchcock Thursday: Spellbound

Another classic from the master of suspense.  There wasn't much suspense until the last 20 minutes but I thought this was pretty good.  Twist after another.  Ingrid Bergman plays a psychoanalyst who falls in love with a crazy guy who may or may not have murdered another psychoanalyst.  Gregory Peck plays that crazy guy.  At times, his schizophrenic swings bothered me.  Thought that could have been better.  But, then I reminded myself that this was made in 1945.  I love the POV shot during the last scene.
Not among my Hitchcock Thursday favorites this year but it was okay mystery movie to see.  Shadow of a Doubt was more awesome.  This one is in par with The Lady Vanishes.  Next up in April: Dial M for Murder.
