For April Cinema Classics, we’re proud to present Alfred Hitchcock’s SPELLBOUND.
SPELLBOUND (1945) Created in part because of producer David O. Selznick's success with psychoanalysis, SPELLBOUND is one of the more bizarre pictures in director Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography. Dr. Petersen (Ingrid Bergman) works at Green Manors, a Vermont sanatorium. Enter the new director, Dr. Edwardes (Peck), a handsome rogue who exhibits some strange tendencies. Petersen falls in love with Edwardes, but soon begins to wonder if he isn't hiding dark secrets. Bergman and Peck famously fell for one another during filming, and their chemistry is blazing in this intense thriller, which also features a showstopping sequence conceived by Salvador Dali.
