Spellbound

Despite a combative relationship with producer David O. Selznick during production, Hitchcock delivered a singular work with this Freudian thriller about a psychoanalyst (Ingrid Bergman) working to recover the memory of an amnesiac (Gregory Peck), who’s suspected of murder. An overlooked masterpiece, Spellbound features surreal dream sequences created by Salvador Dali.

This film is part of a series shown in conjunction with the film course Alfred Hitchcock: The Early Years and will be introduced by its instructor, Andrew J. Douglas, Ph.D.
