Notorious (1946)

Alfred Hitchcock directed and produced Notorious, a 1946 American spy film noir about three people whose lives get closely linked during an espionage operation. T.R. Devlin (Grant) is a US government agent who invades a Nazi group with the aid of Alicia Huberman (Bergman), the daughter of a German war criminal. The situation becomes problematic when the two fall in love and Huberman is instructed to seduce Alex Sebastian (Rains), an organization head who had previously been enamored by her.

Critics and scholars regard Notorious as a watershed moment in Hitchcock's career, representing a new level of thematic maturity. On its first day of release, the film grossed $4.85 million in theater rentals in the United States and Canada, making it one of the year's highest-grossing films.
