The Green Manas Psychiatric Sanatorium was originally supervised by the retiring Doctor Murchisonplayed byand served as the dean. The well-known Spellboundplayed bymedical world will come to the hospital to take over as the new Dean. Peterson is one of Edward's admirers. Spellbound is handsome and extraordinary, and fell in love at first sight with the young and beautiful female doctor Peterson. But soon after, Constance soon discovered that Edward was suffering from severe mental illness and amnesia. He was not Spellbound, but an impostor, John Bellant. Because he was suffering from amnesia and was troubled by some terrible things, he didn't even know who he was. The Edward's secretary who came the next day even charged him with murdering Edward. 
Dean Murchison also confirmed this with psychoanalysis. Fake Edward escaped from the nursing home. In order to escape the police chase, he changed his name to John Brown and checked into the Empire Hotel in New York. Constance Peterson found John Brown and tried to use psychoanalysis to help him recall the truth hidden deep in his memory. The two evaded the police all the way, hiding together in the home of Constance Peterson's teacher Professor Aleksen Brunov. The kind and kind old man took them in and helped Peterson treat John Bellant together. When Brown's disease relapsed late at night, Brunov asked him to drink milk with a sedative. Afterwards, with the joint efforts of Professor Bruno and Constance, through the analysis of his dreams, and after induction, John Berante told his dreams and solved his criminal complex. It turns out that he accidentally injured his brother while playing in his childhood, and was always guilty for his brother's painstaking efforts; and when Spellbound slipped down the slope from him during a skiing session, he always mistakenly believed that he had killed Spellbound. In order to free John from the nightmare, Peterson and him came to the ski resort. Finally, at the critical juncture of the two, John recalled the situation of Edward's accident. 
The police found Spellbound's body according to the clues provided by John, but found bullets from the body, and John still couldn't get rid of the murder charge. Peterson went all the way for John to no avail, so he could only return to the hospital. Constance wanted to find the former Dean, Dr. Murchison, to analyze the case, but inadvertently discovered that Dr. Murchison was actually the murderer of Edward. Dr. Murchison's blunder made Constance wake up like a dream, contacting John's dream, the whole story finally has a result. Constance bravely started a psychological confrontation with Dr. Murchison. In the end, Dr. Murchison's psychological defense completely collapsed. Faced with the exposure of his conspiracy, Dr. Murchison was unable to raise his pistol. 
Peterson and the acquitted John's lover finally got married.

    I really fell in love with the movies of Hepang and Ingrid Bergman, and the movies of psychoanalysis. Dali’s surreal dream depiction and Heath’s suspenseful presentation and scrutiny are a perfect combination. Parker's performance is still very immature.

    Go through Hitchcock's biography and the relevant parts of this film to verify my perception. Sure enough, this film is weird from preparation to shooting. Ingrid Bergman's childhood intuition was right: the love story didn't work. Looking at the film itself, she is really not suitable for such a nympho role. Especially the interaction with the "teacher" is extremely awkward, and even has a feeling of incest (see the biography, maybe the awkward body movements come from Hitchcock's guidance). In the film, she also experienced sexual harassment (the sofa in the hotel lobby), and two pornographic jokes ("the patient thinks I'm a juicer", etc.), which are very inconsistent. Gregory Peck was still a rookie at the time, very thin, a little bit of a hoot, and a fragile temperament. Dali's dream part is not as impactful as the children's slide. As for the dream analysis in the script, looking at it now, it's a joke. (111 minute version)

Spellbound quotes

  • Dr. Murchison: [with his revolver pointed at Constance] You're an excellent analyst, Dr. Peterson, but a rather stupid woman.

  • Constance Petersen: I'll make you coffee with an egg in it.
