Spellbound
Originally released: 1945
Bergman does her best as the defrosting shrink in this tediously rambling bout of designer surrealism and beginner psychiatry. When the new director of posh mental asylum Green Acres turns out to be hunky but unhinged Gregory Peck, suffering from amnesia, guilt complexes and an aversion to fork marks, Bergman sets out to cure him as they flee cross-country hotly chased by a nasty murder charge. Producer David Selznick lopped about 20 minutes off the Dali-designed dream sequences, probably wisely, as the romance is definitely the chief appeal here.
