ABOUT SPELLBOUND
This Oscar-nominated masterpiece was the first film to explore psychoanalysis in mainstream Hollywood cinema.
When the head of a mental asylum retires and is replaced with the renowned Dr Edwards (Gregory Peck), it soon
becomes apparent he is an imposter and amnesiac. Ingrid Bergman plays the psychiatrist who falls in love with Edwards
and who eventually risks everything to run away with him to help solve the dark mystery that surrounds the mysterious
doctor.
Hitchcock commissioned Dalí to design the magnificent Spellbound canvas for the dream sequence for the film, as well
as the sets featuring a bizarre set of tables and chairs with human legs.
