Second only to Psycho as my favorite Hitchcock movie.

It would be far too harsh to label Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious an all-out bomb, but it's equally difficult to refer to the movie as a wholeheartedly effective (and affecting) success.

Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious is the most elegant expression of the master's visual style, just as Vertigo is the fullest expression of his obsessions.

as much of a romance as it is a spy thriller

writing about it is almost as intimidating as pretending that there's anything new to say about it. But here goes.

Notorious is in the world of film noir but not of it; it's a tough and dark film that's also one of the finest women's pictures ever made.

Production and directorial skill of Alfred Hitchcock combine with a suspenseful story and excellent performances to make Notorious force entertainment.

Romantic melodrama. If contemporary viewers think of "Notorious" in those terms, it will still strike them as the classic it's become.

It's the accuracy, efficiency and control of Hitchcock's direction that most impress. They enable him to dovetail the film's thriller format and romantic story to dizzying, expressive and unique effect.

Check up another smash hit for a fine and experienced team.

The virtuoso sequences -- the long kiss, the crane shot into the door key -- are justly famous, yet the film's real brilliance is in its subtle and detailed portrayal of infinitely perverse relationships.

This dark romantic thriller isn't as thematically complex or technically audacious as some of Alfred Hitchcock's later classics. But it's still hard to beat for pure, polished entertainment.
