The Paradine Case
Alfred Hitchcock / US, 1947 / 114 min.
Hitchcock courtroom drama about a woman (Alida Valli) accused of murdering her wealthy, blind husband. Her lawyer (Gregory Peck) becomes blinded by her exotic beauty which negatively affects his defence.
Hitchcock’s final film under David O. Selznick’s supervision was thematically related to Vertigo. Selznick, who Hitchcock also shot Spellbound and Rebecca with, also wrote the script for this courtroom drama. Hitchcock meticulously structured the film. “[…] All the conflict’s elements are presented during the first part, so the trial can get off to an exciting start.’
