Under Capricorn

“Mystery, murder and passion from the master of suspense!”

Sam Flusky (Joseph Cotten), a former convict who has made himself rich in colonial Australia, wants his wife back from the fragile state she has sunk into. Lady Henrietta (Ingrid Bergman) stays shut in her own house, and the arrival of Charles Adare (Michael Wilding), a young newcomer, stirs up a past the couple has kept buried. Hitchcock shoots in long takes of nine and ten minutes, and what holds the two of them together is the crime they share.
