In celebration of Spooktober, I’m giving away one copy of the Criterion Blu-ray of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious (1946). What’s included.

Notorious is an underrated title in Hitchcock’s library. Starring Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and Claude Rains, it is a masterwork in quiet tension. Motives, identities, and secrets twist and meander. It’s the perfect film for a creepy, chilly night.

Set just after World War II, Bergman becomes an embedded spy in the home of a escaped Nazi. Grant is her handler and the two simply sizzle on screen. And thought he is the villain, Rains manges to gain the sympathy of the audience.
