Which 1946 Hitchcock film stars Ingrid Bergman as Alicia Huberman?

Which 1946 Hitchcock film stars Ingrid Bergman as Alicia Huberman? The answer is Notorious.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious is a spy film noir about Alicia Huberman, the daughter of a convicted German spy. U.S. agent T. R. Devlin, played by Cary Grant, recruits her to infiltrate German expatriates in postwar Rio de Janeiro. Her assignment becomes dangerous when she is told to marry Alex Sebastian, played by Claude Rains.

The film was written by Ben Hecht and produced and directed by Hitchcock for RKO Radio Pictures. It was released in August 1946 and became one of Hitchcock’s most acclaimed films. Ingrid Bergman’s performance balances Alicia’s apparent recklessness with her vulnerability and growing moral conflict.

A common mix-up is Spellbound, another Hitchcock film starring Bergman, this time opposite Gregory Peck. Rebecca also belongs to Hitchcock’s 1940s period, but its central unnamed heroine is played by Joan Fontaine, not Bergman. Notorious is also famous for its extended kissing scene, designed around Hollywood’s Production Code restrictions.
