Pynchonesque Hitchcock, Hitchcockian Pynchon

Hi,

I watched "Notorious" last night and was amazed. There is an
extraordinary degree of linkage between this film and at least part I of
Gravity's Rainbow. Bergman plays a sort of ingenuous Katje, Grant a
suavely conflicted Pirate, Raines works for IG Farben. Noticed other
particular details while I was watching but now I can't recall. A
wonderful, paranoid movie. I lived out my fantasy of being trapped on an
estate in Rio with a mad scientist, a momma's boy, and Blicero.
