Spellbound Alfred Hitchcock 1945 | USA The new head of a psychiatry asylum turns out to be an amnesiac imposter. Amusing in the wrong ways now: the jargon is meant to impress, and it may have done at the time, but today it's an obvious attempt to sound serious and grown-up. What may have had potential as a clever, visual film is marred by the talky narrative, which acts as a kind of running commentary to DalĂ's dream sequence, which forms the basis of Peck's character arc.

(Interested in reading seyfried's response to my post, or his thoughts on the film in general.)
