Notorious (1946)

I really like this movie a lot. Some of Hitchcock's movies don't seem as great to me as they obviously do to others. But I like this one quite a bit. And it also makes me realize (as I think I've mentioned before) that I have a bit of a prejudice against some older movies. I may judge them by unfair current standards or something like that. But I have a hard time being truly taken aback by older movies lately.

I really like all the actors in this movie, so that helped a lot. My mom and I used to watch Cary Grant movies a lot when I was a kid. (I think she would have left my dad for Cary Grant. LOL!! ) I will admit I was looking a little bit more for a story of intrigue and suspense, when in fact I felt it was basically a love story with an international spy setting. But at least it was a good one.

PB Rating: 7.5/10
I enjoyed Notorious too and am now watching Laura from 1944. It is strange seeing a very young Vincent Price in it.
