In terms of narrative and style, this is one of the best films ever directed. Period.

The daughter of a Nazi sympathizer is recruited to help catch a German operative in South America in this sizzling thriller by Alfred Hitchcock. One of Hitchcock's leanest and most nail biting works, NOTORIOUS is a veritable textbook in suspense, with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant making fantastic leads.

Pure Hitchcock! This film represents better than any other his style and all his tricks and concerns. You have what probably is the best example of McGuffin, unconventional shots (like the hangover waking up scene), incredible blocking, the framing in the scenes with the tea cup been bigger than any character, and then the unresolved ending is like hearing him telling us: "It really doesn't matter" Just brilliant!

Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, two of the most beautiful people in the world. Brilliant ending.

I think the ending is a bit anti-climatic and is probably the reason why a lot of people wouldn't put it in their top five list but in a way, I kind of like the quietness of it and that it's implied instead of being explicitly shown. It got a little lackluster closer to the end but Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and Claude Rains really spark in this film. Great script too.

excellent because it kept me on the edge of my seat till the end which is always unconventional in Hitchcock films :)))

One of Mr. H's most underrated I think, ignored for his more popular works such as 'Psycho' or 'The Birds' (the latter of which I've never really liked). This is sexy, dangerous, romantic and beautifully acted. Bergman and Grant are great, was going to say they have never been as good but that would be to dismiss work like 'Casablanca' or 'North by Northwest.'

Amongst Hitchcock's very best, which also puts it amongst the best of all time.

One of the best love stories ever put on film. Similar to Casablanca, and almost as good.

Notorious is a great film, I gave it a 4/5 on the auteurs' scale, 6/8 on my own. One of Hitch's best movies. I loved the characters. I love the setting, and the set up, but something in me wishes that it went on for another 30 or 40 minutes.

Absolutely one of Hitchcock's masterpieces but I so missed his black humor here that at the end I felt a little empty. A dark film masterfully done but not one of my favorites.
