Alfred Hitchcock with Ingrid Bergman, star of “Spellbound,” “Notorious” and “Under Capricorn.” One of Hitch’s favorite female leads, Bergman pulled back from Hitch’s Hollywood-style thrillers at the end of the 1940s to star in films directed by her new husband, Roberto Rossellini. These films were in the Italian neorealism style, like “Europe ‘51” and “Journey to Italy.” Bergman eventually moved back toward roles in Hollywood movies. She never worked with Hitchcock again after “Under Capricorn,” but they remained close friends. This picture is probably from the American Film Institute tribute to Hitchcock in 1979.
I love all these old photos. And it is good to see Hitch smiling. Usually, you only see him looking lugubrious. You can see the rapport between him and Bergman. Did you they know Under Capricorn was reissued in LA in 1964 in a double bill with Some Came Running starring Frank Sinatra?
