Dr. Hanish Synopsis:Dr. Constance Petersen (Ingrid Bergman) is a psychiatrist with a firm understanding of human nature or so she thinks. When the mysterious Dr. Anthony Edwards (Gregory Peck) becomes the new chief of staff at her institution, the quiet and detached Constance plummets into a whirlwind of tangled identities and feverish psychoanalysis, where the greatest risk is falling in love. When Edwards arrives he is immediately attracted to the beautiful but cold Dr. Constance Petersen. However, it soon becomes apparent that Dr. Edwards is in fact a paranoid amnesiac imposter. He goes on the run with Constance who tries to help his condition and solve the mystery of what happened to the real Dr. Edwards. A transcendent love story filled with excitement and startling imagery, Spellbound ranks alongside Hitchcocks all time greatest films. Featuring stunning performances, an Academy Award for the haunting music score by Miklos Rozsa, and a captivating dream sequence designed by Surrealist icon Salvador Dali. Behind a veil of psychoanalytic babble lies a simple tale of murder in Alfred Hitchcock's popular thriller Spellbound. During the WWII era in which the film was released, it was heralded for its intellectual use of Freudian theories to solve a murder. In retrospect, however, the film reveals psychoanalytic ideas that are simplistic and obsolete to the point of becoming comical. In spite of this, Hitchcock's tremendous ability to create suspense remains a timeless one and the film's thriller elements, combined with a series of outstanding visuals, bring Spellbound within a notch of the director's best works. The psychological elements allowed Hitchcock to be creative visually and he went to the best, hiring artist Salvador Dali to design a series of incredibly eerie dream sequences. Sadly, only a few of Dali's wonderful creations made the final cut while the others were either lost or destroyed. Hitchcock often spoke of one particularly fantastic sequence in which a statue cracked and fell apart, revealing star Ingrid Bergman beneath it. The climactic suicide scene in which the villain, having been revealed, decides to kill himself is another example of Hitchcock's willingness to experiment. Seen from the killer's perspective, the scene shows him turning the gun on himself and firing it right into the camera. The explosion appears in red and was hand-tinted onto the black-and-white image. Gregory Peck is a strong male lead playing the protagonist whose disturbed mind holds the key to the entire mystery, but Bergman steals the show as his love-struck shrink, a woman mistakenly described by one of her peers as 'a human glacier.' Spellbound was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor (Michael Chekhov), but went on to win for Miklos Rozsa's chilling score. Hitchcock's cameo arrives at the film's 38-minute mark, when the director can be seen exiting an elevator. A transcendent love story filled with excitement and startling imagery, SPELLBOUND ranks alongside Hitchcock's all time greatest films. Featuring stunning performances, an Academy Award for the haunting music score by Miklos Rozsa, and a captivating dream sequence designed by Surrealist icon Salvador Dali.
