Episode 31: "Spellbound" (1945)
Foreign Correspondents: Deeper into Hitchcock - A podcast by Foreign Correspondents
Categories:
You may be surprised but our podcast is not always simply Alfred Hitchcock Appreciation Society. We shower "Spellbound" with a fair share of criticism but we also tell stories of our first encounter with the movie and its famous dream sequence designed by Salvador Dalí. Hitch's bold venture into the secret world of Freudian psychoanalysis stars Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck. It also features a delirious score by Miklós Rózsa and is imbued with a mid-1940s zeitgeist: shades of noir, cryptic war traumas and empowered women all appear in this lavish David O. Selznick production. Join us as we explore this classic – and just a bit crazy! – Hitchcock thriller.
