Undercover

Notorious

(1946)
It's no life being Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman): the man she loves (Cary Grant) essentially calls her a slut and a lush, and the man who loves her (Claude Rains) is a Nazi agent, and when he finds out she had bedded and wedded him as a spy, he sets out to kill her. And then there's her mother-in-law . . .

On the other hand, from Bergman's standpoint, a much more rewarding role than the previous year's project w/ Hitch.

Watching only Hitchcock at home this Halloween month, by the way.
