August 22, 1946 –
The last of Alfred Hitchcock’s wartime thrillers, Notorious, opened on this date.
After filming had ended, Cary Grant kept the famous UNICA key. A few years later he gave the key to his great friend and co-star Ingrid Bergman, saying that the key had given him luck and hoped it would do the same for her. Many years later, at a tribute to director Alfred Hitchcock, Bergman went off-script and presented the key to him, to his surprise and delight.
