Description

With this twisted love story, Alfred Hitchcock summoned darker shades of suspense and passion by casting two of Hollywood’s most beloved stars starkly against type. Ingrid Bergman plays Alicia, an alluring woman with a checkered past recruited by Devlin (Cary Grant), a suave, mysterious intelligence agent, to spy for the U.S. Only after she has fallen for Devlin does she learn that her mission is to seduce a Nazi industrialist (Claude Rains) hiding out in South America. Coupling inventive cinematography with brilliantly subtle turns from his mesmerizing leads, Hitchcock orchestrates an anguished romance shot through with deception and moral ambiguity. A thriller of rare perfection, Notorious represents a pinnacle of both its director’s legendary career and classic Hollywood cinema.

    • 2019 CRITERION BLU-RAY VERSUS 2012 MGM BLU-RAY + Hitchcock filmography

PHOTO 1: MGM blu-ray issued in 2012 PHOTO 2: Hitchcock’s cameo @ 1:04:47 on the Criterion blu-ray PHOTO 3-5: Life Magazine article from 1946 PHOTO 6: Possible Blooper @ 17:09 PHOTO 7: Hitchcock worshiped Ingrid Bergman The new 2019 Criterion Collection blu-ray of ‘Notorious’ comes into direct competition with the 2012 MGM blu-ray: Notorious (hitchcock) [Blu-ray ] The Criterion blu-ray has the magical words “4K digital restoration”, giving it a theoretical advantage over MGM’s ten-year-old 2-K (?) digital restoration, but the actual improvement is not dramatic, at least on my 40 inch, five year-old JVC TV. Both blu-rays look quite good. Of course, if you own a state-of-the-art 70 inch 4-K television (or plan to), the choice is obvious. Making the choice easier, the price of the old MGM blu-ray is twice that of the new Criterion blu-ray (apparently the MGM is out-of-print). COMMON TO MGM & CRITERION: --- Uncompressed 2.0 mono soundtrack in English --- English SDH subtitles for the feature film --- Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of ‘Notorious’ from 1948, starring Ingrid Bergman, with Joseph Cotton in the Cary Grant role (60 minutes) --- Trailers --- Audio Commentaries - each blu-ray has two separate commentary tracks: ------ Criterion has Rudy Behlmer (my favorite, recorded way back in 1990 for Laserdisc) and Marian Keane (recorded in 2001 for DVD) ------ MGM has Richard Jewell and Drew Casper (both recorded in 2008 for DVD) Fortunately there has not been that much new Hitchcock scholarship lately (sorry cinéastes), so none of this material is outdated. BONUS MATERIAL UNIQUE TO MGM: --- Isolated music and effects track - unfortunately composer Roy Webb was no Bernard Hermann. Compare to the final 20 minutes on the isolated music track on the blu-ray of ‘North by Northwest’. --- "The Ultimate Romance: The Making of 'Notorious'" (28 minutes) --- "Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Spymaster" (13 minutes) --- "The Key to Hitchcock: 1979 American Film Institute Award” (3 minutes) --- Hitchcock audio-only interviews with Peter Bogdanovich and Francois Truffaut (18 minutes) BONUS MATERIAL UNIQUE TO CRITERION: --- “Once Upon a Time ... ‘Notorious’, a 2009 Franco-British TV documentary by David Thompson in English (mostly) and subtitled French (52 minutes) --- Interview with Hitchcock biographer Donald Spoto (21 minutes) --- Analysis of the film’s visual style by cinematographer John Bailey (23 minutes) --- Scene analysis by film scholar David Bordwell (30 minutes) --- Analysis of Hitchcock’s storyboarding process by filmmaker Daniel Raim (16 minutes) --- British newsreel footage from 1948 of Ingrid Bergman and Hitchcock arriving at Heathrow Airport (1 minute) --- Booklet essay by critic Angelica Jade Bastién The quality and quantity of the Criterion bonus material puts MGM in the shade. Most of the Criterion bonus material from their 2001 DVD has been deleted - a lot of text articles on DVD (even the obscure short story that inspired the screenplay) and replaced by ninety minutes of newly filmed blu-ray bonus material, plus an hour-long 2009 TV documentary. Scholarly and entertaining. I plan to sell my MGM blu-ray, but keep my old MGM DVD for the commentaries. The luxury of having four different commentaries appeals to my O.C.D. Old DVDs: 2001 Criterion DVD: Notorious (The Criterion Collection) (different bonus material) 2008 MGM DVD: Notorious (hitchcock) (same bonus material as MGM blu-ray) Photo 6: POSSIBLE BLOOPER: Alfred Hitchcock was famous for his cameo appearances, and for the artificiality of the rear projection in his films. The rear projections in ‘Notorious’ are especially unrealistic. Either Hitchcock (or the studio technicians) didn’t care - hard to believe - or this was intentional. Hitchcock’s way of telling the audience “Don’t worry. It’s only a movie”. Something really weird happens @ 17:09 on the Criterion blu-ray: Cary Grant and Ingmar Bergman are seated on an airliner. In the window behind them, you can see a rear projection of the clouds going by. Apparently the projectionist loaded the film backwards, because for the next ten seconds the airplane is flying backwards. ‘Notorious’ (1946) was the ninth of thirty films directed by Alfred Hitchcock during his American period. Producer David O. Selznick brought him to America in 1939, but Selznick sold the rights for ‘Notorious’ to RKO, where Hitchcock was happy to be his own producer. It was the second of three films Hitchcock made with Ingrid Bergman, the second of four films with Cary Grant, and the only time both appeared together in a film directed by Hitchcock. The new blu-ray of ‘Notorious’ is welcome, but I am still hoping for blu-rays of the only two films from Hitchcock’s American period that have not been released on blu-ray: ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ (1941) and ‘Stage Fright’ (1950). ALFRED HITCHCOCK FILMOGRAPHY: Alfred Hitchcock directed 56 feature films (not counting short subjects). One film, 'The Mountain Eagle' (1927) is lost. 'Blackmail' (1929) is counted twice - it was Hitchcock's final silent film, and was also filmed as his first talkie. PART ONE: BRITISH PERIOD, 1925 - 1939 25 films survive: 11 are on blu-ray (5 of these are on Criterion) PART TWO: HOLLYWOOD PERIOD, 1940 -1976 30 films: 28 are on blu-ray.

    • A Long-Awaited Restoration of One of Hitchcock's Finest Films
This review pertains to The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray edition of Notorious released on January 15, 2019. I disagree with the other reviewers here who have criticized the quality of Criterion's latest 4K restoration of Notorious. They compare this new edition of Notorious to other Criterion restorations, but that's an apples-to-oranges comparison. To be fair, I think one has to compare this Blu-ray release of Notorious with the prior editions of Notorious on home video. I owned both the Anchor Bay and Fox DVDs and was never fully satisfied with them. I wondered why Notorious didn't look as good on DVD as some of the other classic films from the 1940's in my collection. Upon researching that, I learned that Notorious' original film elements have not been as well preserved as those of some other films. When Criterion and Disney took on this restoration, they had more work to do than for the typical classic film. For instance, they had to scan the film from three different elements due to damage to the original negative. Criterion's new Blu-ray edition is a major improvement compared with the two DVD editions I mentioned. Several professional reviewers have said that this new release is an improvement over the MGM Blu-ray release that came out in 2012. Compared with the two DVD releases I mentioned, the picture is cleaner, sharper, virtually free of specs and flecks, etc. That's what matters to me. Is it "reference quality" like, for example, Criterion's Sweet Smell of Success? No, but it's probably as good as this film is ever going to look, given the condition of its elements. Kudos to Criterion for this new edition of one of Alfred Hitchcock's best films. ... show more

    • Re-reviewed
After initially giving this Criterion restoration a lower rating, I watched the movie again (and again). I felt I was unfair in my original review, and have changed the rating to 4*. It still isn't as superb as other Criterion work, but considering what the company had to work with from the original film, I felt a re-review was in order. Love this movie!! I would purchase it again. ... show more

    • Excellent Restoration
Criterion has outdone itself again with an outstanding restoration of one of Hitchcock's finest movies. Yes, the picture quality has its flaws, but they are minimal and understanding given the age of the source material. As if you need more proof, this restoration shows the stunning beauty of Ingrid Bergman. The crane shot at the party, starting at the second level and moving down to reveal the key in her hand, is extraordinary. Cary Grant is also excellent, and Claude Rains is unparalleled in his subtle portrayal of a traitor who is genuinely in love with the woman who betrays him. Another reason to purchase this reasonably priced blu ray is the collection of extras -- all well done, albeit on the pedantic side. This is highly recommended. ... show more

    • 2019 Criterion Version Disappointing
The movie itself is outstanding. The quality of the restoration is disappointing compared to other restorations coordinated by Criterion. The extras are very disappointing compared to those included in other DVDs offered by Criterion. The included brochure is many pages of nothing but a description of the movie. Why all that waisted space when the actual movie is right there in your hands??? The quality of the few photos in the brochure also are terrible. "Notorious" is a great film. Disappointingly, the overall DVD is not. Definitely not worth the price. And, definitely not up to Criterion's normal offerings. ... show more
