Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Featuring: Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck, Michael Chekhov, Leo G. Carroll, Rhonda Fleming, John Emery
Dr. Constance Petersen (Ingrid Bergman) is a psychiatrist with a firm understanding of human nature—or so she thinks. When the mysterious Dr. Anthony Edwardes (Gregory Peck) becomes the new chief of staff at her institution, the bookish and detached Constance plummets into a whirlwind of tangled identities and feverish psychoanalysis, where the greatest risk is to fall in love. A transcendent love story replete with taut excitement and startling imagery, Spellbound is classic Hitchcock, featuring stunning performances, an Academy Award®-winning score by Miklos Rozsa, and a captivating dream sequence by Surrealist icon Salvador Dalí.

Release Notes on Restoration
Spellbound
Spellbound is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and was digitally transferred from a new 35mm internegative made from a combination of the Academy Film Archive 35mm nitrate print and David O. Selznick's 35mm acetate print.
The soundtrack for Spellbound was restored and preserved from an original 35mm nitrate print in the collection of the Academy Film Archive, and David O. Selznick's 35mm acetate print. 35mm acetate track positives of the "Overture" and "Exit" music were preserved by The Museum of Modern Art. New 35mm magnetic analog masters and DA-88 digital masters were created utilizing Sonic Solutions noise reduction software.
