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.
