Spellbound (1945) Alfred Hitchcock, 720p

Posted on by womo



Hitchcock touch on Psychoanalysis in an adaptation of “The House of Dr. Edwardes”

This is the first time of both Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman as actors for Hitchcock.

Even though not recognized as one of the best of the master’s films, with an overall weaker plot than in many other pictures, the filmas great moments especially the Salvador Dali dream sequence.

If you want to listen to the conversation between Hitchcock and Truffaut on the film:

Enjoy

  1. Hello I don’t know if I’m the youngest person in this comment section but I just want say I have never seen this movie. Based on the comments it seems to be a good movie. Anyways I hope I enjoy it and god bless everyone ✨

  3. Did Dr Constance Petersen ever delve into John Ballantyne's subconscious mind to see if his brother's death really wasn't a subconscious desire disguised as an "accident"???? ???

    PECK: "HAM or LEBERWURST?"

    BERGMAN: {desperately} "L E B E R W U R S T…"

    Nice to hear a little bit German in this time-honored motion picture!

    Best wishes to all movie friends around the globe from Germany!

    BERGMAN: "Not Hot Dogs… LEBERWURST.

  12. Well folks, that how great movies were made. Acting par excellence and a surprise ending. I could imagine myself in a beautiful movie theatre all dressed up to the nines as was the custom around the time this movie was made.

  15. People just barge into a person's rooms, any time, day or night, without knocking! If course one would think a person would lock his/her door. Wonder why Hitchcock wrote it this way. He was such a stickler for every little detail. ??

  17. Not to over analyze, but I was never sold on this film, although I consider Hitchcock an auteur. I had a great Freudian analyst and while I never had a massive trauma, I never heard of breakthroughs in a few sessions, certainly not vivid recollection of dreams after a triple bromide. Much is being done with MDMA and micro-dosing of hallucinogens to shorten the length of psychoanalysis. I think if Hitchcock were alive to remake this, he'd be fine with the use of Ecstacy or a few "shrooms." It'd make the dream sequence more believable. And speaking of, consider Dali's reference to his and Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou," and the splitting of the eye. Thanks for the upload!

    ??????????Dr. Alex Brulov: “Oh, you are a fine one to talk! You have a guilt complex and amnesia and you don't know if you are coming or going from somewhere, but Freud is hooey! This you know! Hmph! Wiseguy.”

  20. PAVLOV’S GOD ???
    Classic conditioning (later developed by Watson, 1913) involves learning to associate an unconditioned stimulus (????) that already brings about a particular response (i.e., a reflex) with a new (conditioned) stimulus (?????), so that the new stimulus brings about the same response.
    Pavlov developed some rather unfriendly technical terms to describe this process. The unconditioned stimulus (or UCS) is the object or event that originally produces the reflexive / natural response.
    The response to this is called the unconditioned response (or UCR). The neutral stimulus (NS) is a new stimulus that does not produce a response.
    Once the neutral stimulus has become associated with the unconditioned stimulus, it (????‍?) becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS/??). The conditioned response (CR) is the response to the conditioned stimulus.

    "Our story deals with psychoanalysis, the method by which modern science treats the emotional problems of the sane."?
    "The analyst seeks only to induce the patient to talk about his hidden problems to open the locked doors of his mind."?
    "Once, the complexes that have been disturbing the patient are uncovered and interpreted, the illness and confusion may be 'exploited for profit and subjugation'… and the devils of 'Liberty, Independence, Freedom, Eternity' are driven from the human soul.” Green?Manors

  23. Because this was a Alfred Hitchcock movie I figured there would be a dark twist at the end.
    The movie could not have ended better than having Leo G. Carrol (Dr Murchison) be the murderer.
    Leo G. Carrol is best remembered for playing a lovable character, Cosmo Topper in the 1950s TV show “Topper”,
    TOPPER DID IT! He was the murderer.

  26. I love Alfred Hitchcock and Gregory Peck is one of my favourite actors tall dark and very handsome a fantastic movie thank you for sharing

  28. Same company released GWTW. Big movies with big scores. Miklos Rozsa is a freaking genius; his powerful motifs resound in a lot of pictures. Beautiful people, engaging film noirs type story.

  30. "Women's talk, bah!" Oh brother! She's as valid a pshychologist as he is and "the mind of a woman in love is operating on the lowest intellect?" Oh wow!

  31. I love how the male doctors treat the female doctor as though she's a "glacier" and "cold" and "unfeeling" just because she's behaving as a "real" doctor the way they are and not giving in to all of their sexual harassment. Oh, the good ol' days.

  33. This story had to have looked better on paper.. one of the few Hitch that seems dated.. staid..corny, over 60 years later …we have evolved so much on issues of the mind and mental illness.. this is tedious at points now, and that certain music to denote haziness in the mind sounds like the score from" Lost In Space"..the bad "Man on Mars" faux scary music.. I could not with through it…but this was Berman's audition I suppose. The next yesterday Hitch cast her in "Notorious", one of her best roles, period!!

  40. there's a lot of contempt for this film from psy'lysts, but the key and crucial psy'lytic fact that the script emphasizes is repression and ensuing repression of associations–this is beautifully illustrated by "JB's" first break when he sees dr p's fork-drawn lines on the tablecloth: mere lines were not repressed and not even well associated with the repressed for "JB" until they appeared on a white background; thereafter "JB" would have to repress the perception of all lines on white background to go on functioning with amnesia, but his core psychic stamina won't go that far, and so the process of recovery began–that recovery is realistically lengthy and painful and beset by setbacks and denials; the spellbound story is about a love-object relationship that is able to shortcut all that–my impression is that in aftermath "JB" will always be dependent on dr p for shelter from a complete working-through; they may live happily everafter together, but he will never be free of her and she will always be free to leave him

  42. My mum had a mad crush on Gregory Peck…15:10 tells me why. I don't understand why he was so often described as having "rugged" good looks. That expression–those eyes and that mouth!–are about as tender and vulnerable as a man of that era could risk revealing.
