This person posted lots of "stills" with cleverly written commentary.
The whole movie is on youtube - and the comments are full of females gushing over Gregory Peck
But one female says he looks too old for Ingrid! Actually he was a year younger apparently - and they both were in love for real from this film - and both cheated on their spouses.
I'm slowly charging up the Chafon - from below 20% now up to almost 50% - since I only have the DVD player plugged in.
I'm still figuring out what type of DC/DC Buck Converter I need to boost the output on the bicycle generator....
And I'll order direct from the company website -as the prices are heavily discounted...
One of these film reviewers has serious potty mouth
In 1945, Salvador Dalí moved to Hollywood to work on the film Spellbound, directed by the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock and starring Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. This is one of the first American films to use psychoanalysis as a major element of the story. Hitchcock wanted to capture the vividness of dreams as never before and felt that Dalí was the person to help him do so. Given the importance of the dream sequence, the director gave the artist free rein to bring to the screen an innovative vision of the way dreams could be represented.
The creative influence of the artist is also evident in the many characteristically Dalinian motifs that appear throughout the film, including the recurring emphasis on eyes, seen here through or behind scissors.https://alfredhitchblog.wordpress.com/2018/05/14/spellbound-1945-will-you-love-me-just-as-much-when-im-normal/
Enter the theremin: Just as Hitchcock was full of visual ideas, he had plenty of thoughts about the music as well. Composer Miklos Rozsa used the theramin as part of the musical score at Hitchcock’s request. The theramin (named after its inventor, Leon Theramin) is unique among musical instruments in that it is played without actually touching it. It emits electromagnetic waves, which are “played” by moving the hands around two metal rods. The theramin creates an ethereal sound that became popular in science fiction movies in the 50’s, but Rozsa pioneered its use in cinema. Rozsa’s score was rewarded with an Oscar win.
