Spellbound - 7/10 - A pretty good film marred by Gregory Peck's stiff acting and Hitchcock's annoying compulsion to explain every tiny plot detail to the auidence. Wonderfully stylish direction and cinematography throughout; the Dali-designed dream sequence was interesting but too brief to make much of an impression. Middle-of-the-road Hitchcock, which is still better than the best of many other directors.
Groggy's pathological refusal to acknowledge an Oscar-winning score is once more in evidence. One of Miklós Rózsa finest, and perhaps the first use of Theramin in a Hollywood film, but for Groggy, none of this is worth mentioning.
So it's a good score because it uses a theramin?
