Under Capricorn
(GB 1949)
Warner Bros/Transatlantic. 117m.
In early colonial Australia, an ex-convict's wife is traumatized by his taking the blame for a murder that she committed.
Disappointingly tame mystery melodrama with vague echoes of Rebecca, only occasionally in some of Hitchcock's style but very watered down. The actors make it a worthwhile but not very memorable entertainment.
Written by: John Colton, Margaret Linden, Hume Cronyn, James Bridie, from the novel by Helen Simpson.
Producers: Alfred Hitchcock, Sidney Bernstein.
Director: Alfred Hitchcock.
Starring: Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten, Michael Wilding, Margaret Leighton, Cecil Parker, Jack Watling, Denis O'Dea, Ronald Adam, Francis de Wolff.
Photography: Jack Cardiff.
Music: Richard Addinsell.
