The film tells the story of Dr. Murchison, the new head of the Green Manors mental asylum who turns out not to be what he claims. He is in fact a paranoid amnesiac impostor, who may also be a killer.

It has a lot of great stuff, not least of which is the odd dream sequence, designed by none other than Salvador Dali.

I don't agree with her much, but Pauline Kael was right about this one.

It may not be first-rank Hitchcock, but even second-tier Hitchcock is better than what most other directors produce.

Not to be speechless about it, David O. Selznick has a rare film in Spellbound.

Made in an age when master shots often became a standard scene style, Hitchcock shows some real thought behind his composition.
May 04, 2005
One of the director's most laughably dated films.
July 09, 2004
Severely dated but supremely entertaining psychological thriller
June 06, 2005
One of Hollywood's most explicit films about psychoanalysis, Spellbound takes a dubious and contrived approach to the subject, but the stars (Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck)shine and their love story is enjoyable.

Uneven film, with fascinating dream images.
June 29, 2004
Stylish psychodrama

...a rare misfire within Hitch's otherwise solid body of work.

A commercial and critical hit in its day, this Best Picture Oscar nominee has seen its standing slip in the ensuing decades, as it's never mentioned on any list of Alfred Hitchcock's best works. That's a shame.
