Spellbound

1945

Based on Francis Bleeding's novel The House of Dr. Edwardes, Spellbound -- which was nominated for six Oscars and won for original score -- is one of Hitchcock's finest films. Dr. Edwards (Gregory Peck) arrives at the Green Manors Mental Asylum and falls for the beautiful Dr. Petersen (Ingrid Bergman). But she discovers that he's a paranoid amnesiac impostor, which leaves her wondering: What happened to the real Dr. Edwards?
