And yes, Madame Konstantin and Claude Rains are remarkable, up to the very end where his associates want to "have a word". Again with kisses and with Hitchcock, another nod to "Spellbound", with its unforgettable Miklos Rozsa soundtrack, the Dali dream sequence -- and the passionate kiss at the train station... before both characters board. Michael Chekhov having his tea is also not to be missed. I've never fallen for "Indiscreet" -- too many expectations? I'll give it another try. “Notorious” is indeed a must-see: the kiss scene in Rio between the two main characters is wonderfully extended, with the kisses being interrupted for slight seconds to appease the Code (”no kisses lasting more than X”) and at the same time providing for one of the most lingering memories of kisses in the silver screen.

I’ve never fallen for “Indiscreet” — too many expectations? I’ll give it another try.
