Много раз я все собиралась посмотреть этот фильм.
Все таки смотреть на Ингрид Бергман вместе с Грегори Пеком ( как в него можно не влюбиться?) одно удовольствие!
Но как я и думала, фильм всего лишь неплохой. Очень вялотекущий, и когда все же начинается какое-то действие, то оно малоинтересно.
Отдельное спасибо Сальвадору Дали за сцену со сном. и конечно как и во всех хичкоковских фильмах - операторам.
Закрывающий фильм, кадр особенно поражает!
One of the first Hollywood films to deal with psychoanalysis.
Alfred Hitchcock himself referred to the film as "just another manhunt wrapped up in pseudo-psychoanalysis".
The shot where the audience sees the killer's view down a gun barrel pointing at Peterson was filmed using a giant hand holding a giant gun to get the perspective correct.
The dream sequence was designed by Salvador Dalí, and was originally supposed to run slightly longer.
Alfred Hitchcock was a big admirer of Salvador Dalí's work and realized that no one understood dream imagery better.
David O. Selznick was opposed to using Dalí from an expense point of view, until he realized the marketing mileage that could be gained from such a hiring.
Miklós Rózsa's score in this film inspired the career of film composer Jerry Goldsmith.
Peck liked the score so much that in his last years he used it in his one-man touring lecture show, "An Evening with Gregory Peck."
Alfred Hitchcock persuaded David O. Selznick to buy the rights to the novel for $40,000.
After Alfred Hitchcock had suggested "Hidden Impulse" as a title, studio secretary Ruth Rickman came up with the title "Spellbound", which tested well in a pre-release survey.
David O. Selznick wanted much of the film to be based on his experiences in psychotherapy.
He even brought his psychotherapist in on the set to be a technical advisor.
Once when she disputed a point of fact with Alfred Hitchcock on how therapy works, Hitchcock said, "My dear, it's only a movie."
Although the film is in black and white, two frames where the gun shot goes off while pointed at the camera are tinted red.
