The 1945 Hitchcock film featuring a psychoanalyst and an amnesiac man is Spellbound.
Ingrid Bergman plays Dr. Constance Petersen, a psychoanalyst at Green Manors psychiatric hospital. Gregory Peck plays a man who arrives claiming to be the hospital’s new director, Dr. Anthony Edwardes, but soon reveals that he has amnesia and may be connected to the real Edwardes’s disappearance.
Petersen studies his fears and recurring dream imagery while trying to determine his identity and whether he committed a murder. The film blends romance, psychological investigation, and suspense, using psychoanalysis as the engine of its mystery.
One famous dream sequence was designed by Salvador Dalí, giving the movie a strikingly surreal visual centerpiece. The score by Miklós Rózsa also became influential: it won the Academy Award for Best Original Score and helped popularize the theremin-like sound associated with cinematic psychological suspense.
