The TVI Take
Hitchcock's 1946 Ben Hecht screenplay anchored by Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains in a postwar-Brazil Nazi-conspiracy plot. The single longest kiss in studio-era Hollywood (engineered as a series of brief cuts to evade the Hays Code) is the film's structural and formal commitment compressed into one sequence.
Among Hitchcock's most carefully-constructed films and the most underrated of his canonical Masterclass entries.
