I want to love this film, I really do. Technically it’s classically Hitchcockian and the plot is fab, but the misogyny is so pervasive in this one I just can’t get past it. I know, it’s the 40s. But the progression of Ingrid Bergman’s character from being a headstrong, self-assured woman to the stereotypical lovesick girl from every romantic thriller you’ve seen is so disappointing. Particularly since most of the characters poke fun at those female stereotypes. Is it saying…
