Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious - Final Scene

[@eheaven3]

Perhaps THE best ending of all time. Hitchcock’s best. Grant and Bergman . . . the most believable “I love you” ever uttered on the silver screen. Audiences cheered . . . as did I.

[@highwind1991]

Cinema is so incredible. It just shows 4 characters slowly walking down a flight of stairs and yet because of the camera work, the editing, the acting and the stories context, it's the most suspenseful and exciting thing. It puts a lot of modern Blockbuster sequences to shame

The bedroom scene is so incredibly romantic, and the lighting phenomenal. Note how it mirrors the beginning, when she wakes up in bed with a hangover, to see Cary Grant standing there too.

From one of the most romantic scenes in movies to one of the most suspenseful. Hitchcock baby. Hitchcock. Had to watch here because this is the precise moment where my DVD gets stuck.

[@acdragonrider]

Also character driven

[@martingaughan1136]

Ingrid Bergman is great in Notorious. The film is really hers. Her finest Hollywood performance.

[@alcd6333]

I love the black & white photography, showing the wonderful contrasts between light and shadow. This is especially true in the close-ups with Grant and Bergman.

[@ISFSeattle]

The whole movie was worth it just to see Cary Grant confess his love to her at the end. The only words missing were "I'm sorry" ... since he'd been unbelievably cruel to her almost the entire film. Though I suppose "I couldn't see straight or think straight. I was a fat-headed guy full of pain. It tore me up not having you" pretty much meant "I'm sorry"... :)

[@12classics39]

yes it did mean "i'm sorry." also his act of risking his life to find her and get her out of there proved all of his previous cruel words to be empty and meaningless.

[@ReligionOfSacrifice]

@@12classics39, it's more than just these words. So many of their lines are what men and women say to each other for far less or even complete false reasons. Or what they desire to say to people of the opposite sex.

[@m.m6726]

I so far, watched Rear Window, Notorious And Spellbound and Notorious is my favorite! I Am going to watch Vertigo, To Catch a thief and Dial M for murder (All Hitchcock movies) and I hope notorious will still be my all-time Hitchcock favorite!

[@wildsmiley]

serial killers fascinate me I hope you enjoyed Vertigo, it’s not only my favorite Hitchcock film but my favorite classic film. I’d recommend Strangers On A Train, Rope, The Birds, Shadow of a Doubt and especially North By Northwest. All fantastic.

[@macc.1132]

40's and 50's Hitchcock - so different, but all so good. Rebecca is a good haunting and any scene with Judith Anderson is aces! I hope you make time to see it. How'd you like Vertigo? It's such a good film, so ahead of its time. If you haven't seen Psycho, then you're in for a good film. Another film ahead of its time.

[@UvilleraMente]

I doubt it. Once you get to vertigo U WILL KNOW!!

[@roddycurt9139]

Dial M For Murder is my absolute favorite! Runners up are Strangers on a Train, Notorious, The Lady Vanishes and 39 Steps. Have fun!!!

[@SarahKnowsBest]

I love how hitchcock jumps really quickly from one close up to another to catch the nervous agitation and then the nazis at the bottom of the stairs keep getting closer and closer as they descend. It builds suspense. I mean thats like 60 shots in 2.30mins. He's a genius.

[@Krista2882]

my favorite scene of the movie

[@Q.Gold30]

Ingrid was incredibly gorgeous

[@tadimaggio]

What A GREAT way to give a villain his comeuppance: to threaten to reveal a fatal secret unless he lets you go! This is just about the only time in screen history when having the bad guys see the hero and heroine as they escape works to the advantage of the good guys. This is easily on the short list of Hitchcock's best films. Its title was also unintentionally ironic, to a pretty considerable degree. Only two years after finishing "Notorious", Ingrid Bergman became "notorious" in real life, for daring to leave her cold and unloving husband for another man. At least Alicia Huberman didn't end up getting denounced on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, as Ingrid did. And -- a further irony -- one of the first films that Ingrid and her new husband, Roberto Rossellini, made together after their "bolting" was "Europa '51", one of the most powerful dramatizations of the Christian ethic in action that has ever been committed to film; it ranks with Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc" and Bresson's "Diary of a Country Priest" as a key Christian work of art in the twentieth century. As to Ingrid herself, perhaps the best comment belongs to the great filmmaker Jean Renoir. When he asked her to appear in his film "Elena et les Hommes", they agreed to meet for dinner in Paris to discuss it. The next day, one of Renoir's assistants asked him: "Monsieur, you must tell me. What was it like to have dinner with Ingrid Bergman?" Renoir smiled and replied, "It was like spending three hours across the table from a talking orchid."

[@acdragonrider]

Agreed for me it’s Psycho Vertigo Notorious Shadow of a doubt Rear window

[@betsylalich4570]

Thomas, How very beautiful : "a talking orchid". Indeed, Ingrid was and remains more than just a beauty or talent, but great spirit.

[@vynyoe30]

The resolution of this movie is about love, beauty and death. Grant confesses his love for Alysha and this saves the day. Raines is broken hearted and blinded by such. It is his mother who is afraid to die not him. The Dr. is blinded by her beauty not realizing she could ever be a spy. Raines' friends believe this is a weird love triangle and not spy v spy. Only the goon has some suspicion but it comes to late. Their judgment is clouded by their emotional interest in such a beautiful, young woman.

[@CaminoAir]

Should Devlin have taken Alex with him in the car at the end? Alex would have been extremely useful to American intelligence. He would have known a lot about what the ex-Nazi's were up to. I understand that Alex has to get what's coming to him in movie logic, but that was a major mistake by Devlin purely as a operative. I'm sure his boss would have been seriously unimpressed if Devlin told him what had actually happened.

[@_ttnxo]

I don't think Alex would have been very helpful if they took him with them. He could have been armed and he could have killed both of them.

[@pa3997]

I think that you are right, it is a mistake on an operative level. But he is probably beyond that and acts on an emotional Level because of His love.

[@scottfree2248]

Alex probably would have taken his life like Alicia's father did. I doubt he would have turned into an informant.

[@jameshaynes7062]

The first time I watched this film, I came away with a strong impression of Alex as a pathetic coward. Subsequent viewings have changed my mind. Of course he tries to escape-- who wouldn't under such dismal circumstances?-- but in the last analysis he shows a good deal of courage, knowing full well that he's going to be murdered.

When Cary Grant stars in a Hitchcock film, neither he nor the lead actress die. The audience who previewed Suspicion was not in favor of the original ending (where Joan Fontaine is killed by Cary Grant's character) so it was changed

[@burizaemon9305]

Hail Hydra..😬

[@The1Thrashmaster]

The suggestion that Alex Sebastian is about to be killed is not justified. We don't know that there weren't phones *outside* Alicia's room. Alex's story is not outlandish. At least one of Sebastian's colleagues thinks very highly of Alicia, and would not suspect her to be a traitor. Plus, if they are so suspicious, why do they let her leave at all? Even if his death is near, surely this man is planning exit strategies. This is an emotional ending. As a legitimate plot resolution, it fails.

[@loge10]

So instead of attacking you for being a little over the top in your plausibility demands, I'd be interested for you to provide an example of a film who screenplay meet your standards for such things, yet also provides an emotional engagement and satisfaction. Many great films would be considered to have failed by the scrutiny you seem to demand.

[@The1Thrashmaster]

@@loge10 Thank you for asking. Notorious is a great, believable story. I’m actually fine with the information that it gives us. I was picking on how the ending is presented. It is very emotionally engaging, but it leads the viewer to make assumptions. Yes, it is a tough standard. As the situation in this clip is a serious, life-or-death one, I’ll name some movies that have similar situations and, unless I’m wrong, do basically nothing to exaggerate them. Obviously, these movies are also dark, serious things. Sunset Blvd. and Brubaker are terribly plausible. Everything that Do the Right Thing, Platoon, Ride the High Country, The Naked City, Bedlam (1946) and Cape Fear (1962) say seems convincing to me. Stage Fright, which is also directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is quite impressive. I believe that people tend to survive things. I love a movie that sends a message that you can simply believe.
