NOTORIOUS
35mm Print!
Screened in a rare 35mm print, this postwar thriller is one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best. Ingrid Bergman plays the daughter of a convicted spy who is recruited by U.S. agent Cary Grant to infiltrate a Nazi organization hiding in Rio after World War II. With a fascinating plot of sex, lies and uranium, it boasts the longest Hollywood kiss up to that point (and you can bet Hitch was timing it). With Claude Rains. Writer: Ben Hecht. Director: Alfred Hitchcock. (US 1946) 101 min.

INTERMEZZO
JUNE NIGHT (JUNINATTEN)
As the concert pianist who falls in love with a married violinist (Gösta Ekman) in Intermezzo (1936, 88 min., directed by Gustaf Molander), Ingrid Bergman caught the eye of producer David O. Selznick, who imported her to Hollywood for a remake with Leslie Howard.
June Night (1940, 85 min.) was Ingrid Bergman’s final Swedish film for several decades. Directed by Per Lindberg, she plays a young woman who inadvertently finds herself at the center of a public scandal. Both films in Swedish with English subtitles.
