Shout by Tony Bates

Notorious 1946

A top 10 Hitchcock for me--Grant and Bergman are both fantastic, with Bergman embodying courage and vulnerability in equal measure that just hits perfectly. The tension that builds, especially in the wine cellar sequence, is as taut as anything he's ever directed. But what struck me most was the romance plot that curdles into resentment until all is saved at the end--it was lovely.
