35MM PRESENTATION
Created in part because of producer David O. Selznick's success with psychoanalysis, and adapted from the strange novel The House of Dr. Edwardes, and working with both Selznick's therapist and Salvador Dali, Spellbound is one bizarre and entertaining picture. Dr. Petersen (Ingrid Bergman) works at Green Manors, a Vermont sanatorium. Enter the new director, Dr. Edwardes (Peck), a handsome rogue who exhibits some strange tendencies. Petersen falls in love with Edwardes, but soon begins to wonder if he isn't hiding dark secrets. Bergman and Peck famously fell for one another during filming, and their chemistry is blazing in this intense thriller.
