P O 09/30/2024 One of Hitchcock's worst films. Cotton and Bergman actually helped this film. Wilding's acting was less satisfactory. See more Georgan G 09/29/2023 A story of secrets & classism that drive years of suffering. Hitchcock's cameo I didn't find, but did see the generations of truth in the plot. Not my favorite by Hitch, but I still love his work. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 08/02/2023 No suspense from the master of? But Hitchcock was also the master painter, as he so ably demostrated here. Good acting from the beautiful Bergman also a plus. See more Dick C 01/30/2023 It's an excellent motion picture, Under Capricorn, a 1949 British historical thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock who puts all his focus on the leading actress, Ingrid Bergman...Firstly, she burns the Margaret Leighton's punishing leather stick to demonstrate she's the one in charge now...Secondly, she confesses bravely to the Australian Colony Governor for her murder of her brother...Actually, Alfred shows many things Ingrid's transforming... Casting is strong, such as the "Milly" by Margaret, "Sam" by Joseph Cotten and the last but not the least, final scene, Michael Wilding's statemnet... See more 05/06/2021 3 good performances from Cotten, Bergman and Wilding. Took a while to get going but improved steadily in the second half. Not as stylish or as entertaining as a typical Hitchcock film but better than the ratings suggest. See more 03/18/2021 One of Hitchcock's few non-suspense films is a slow, stiff plod of a melodrama. He's still on his long-takes-kick, carried over from Rope; only those moves have little-to-no thematic or narrative heft to them…regardless of how impressive they are. Bergman's mastery is unwavering, though; she's nearly unrecognizable in this movie. See more Read all reviews
