Hitchcock's mesmerising psychological drama stars Gregory Peck as the psychiatrist who arrives at Green Manors mental asylum suffering from paranoia and amnesia. Ingrid Berman plays ice-cold shrink Dr Constance Petersen who joins forces with him to solve the mystery. Hitch effortlessly weaves a tale of mystery and romance with a cracking supporting cast and there's the bonus of a dream sequence crafted by artistic genius Salvador Dali.

Review

A dazzling Hitchcock suspense film about an amnesiac, brilliantly written and directed, with a shock revelation around every corner.

There's also a breathtaking, and very relevant, dream sequence designed by Salvador Dali.

During the Forties, Ingrid Bergman was a favourite actress for the heroine of Hitchcock films.

Spellbound was the first of three films that she made for Hitch (Notorious and Under Capricorn followed).

Here she plays a psychiatrist trying to help Gregory Peck as a man who is suffering from amnesia - and who might be a murderer.
