Radio review – Lux – “Notorious” (1948) **1/2

Ingrid Bergman reprises her screen role in what remains a good story; of course the visual flourishes Hitchcock brought are missed – especially in the wine cellar sequence, and the finale, which depends on POV. But the emotional stuff of the story remains. Joseph Cotten substitutes very well for Cary Grant – he feels like a natural Bergman co-star does Joe Cotten, but the guy who replaces Claude Rains isn’t as good. A copy of the script is here.
