Notorious
Alfred Hitchcock’s box office hit, ‘Notorious’, made Brazin famous in the postwar era for all the wrong reasons: it portrayed Brazil as a home for Nazi war criminals. Brazilian leaders argued that the film should have been set in Argentina, the country were the majority of the Nazi were fleeing

The first many Beazilians heard about any potential Nazi issues in their country was when the film ‘Notorious,’ directed by Alfred Hitchcock, was released in 1946. The movie starring Cary Grant, Ingrid Berman, and Claude Rains, follows the fictional story of a US agent who persuades the daughter of a convicted Nazi war criminal to travel to Brazil to help infiltrate the Nazi commercial network hiding out in Rio de Janeiro. Shot in late 1945 and early 1946, it became one of the first big-budget movies to depict the postwar era. The plot centers on the uncovering of uranium ore in the house of the Nazi, Sabastian (Claud Rains), and the deepening romance between the American agent, Devlin (Cary Grant), and Alicia (Ingrid Berman). The film was critically well received in America and Europe, said to mark a watershed for Hitchcock. In Brazil, the film was seen as an insult. Brazilian diplomats who viewed the move in North America and Europe were shocked at the refraction of the audience – who came to see Brazil as a haven for Nazis. The consensus of opinion among Brazilian critics was the Hitchcock should have chosen Argentina for the location of the film. `- PAGE 180
