The film "Doctor Edward/Confused Love Spellbound" (1945) American Blu-ray edition cover
Sometimes history moves forward in wishful thinking and hindsight, and when Gregory Peck (1916-2003) and Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) attended the premiere of Roman Holiday (1953) on September 2, 1953, Gregory Pike was very careful to bring his best buddy Mel Ferrer ( 1917-2008) introduced to Audrey Hepburn.
Mel Feller is a well-known actor and director in the United States, Audrey Hepburn and Mel Feller fell in love at first sight.
On September 24, 1954, Audrey Hepburn and Mel Feller were married in a chapel on the shores of Lake Luzern, Switzerland.

And the domestic audience is not so calm after watching "Roman Holiday", vividly put Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn together as the love of their lives, believe in the fabrication of the "butterfly brooch", and really think that Gregory Parker gave her a ride at the funeral of Audrey Hepburn's death, which is actually a fictitious thing.
In fact, during the filming of Roman Holiday, Gregory Pike had separated from his first wife, Greta Kukkonen, and was in love with his second wife, Veronique Peck, a French journalist, and was in love with Audrey Hepburn.
Imagine if Gregory Parker loved Audrey Hepburn very much, he would introduce her to another man? Therefore, the two did not produce any love sparks at all, and at most there was a bit of "brother-sister love".

Look at Gregory Pike's best girlfriend in Hollywood, Ava Gardner (1922-1990), and you can see that he likes beautiful and plump types of actresses, and he and Ava Gardner are the real on-screen couples.
They collaborated on three films, The Great Sinner (1949), The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952), and On the Beach (1959).
After the death of Ava Gardner, Gregory Pike took in her housekeeper and adopted her puppy.

Gregory Parker and Audrey Hepburn didn't have any reverie about her when they were working together, and to put it bluntly, Audrey Hepburn wasn't Gregory Parker's dish. So who is Gregory Pike's love affair? —Ingrid Bergman Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982), with whom he collaborated on Doctor Edward/The Confused Spybound (1945).
Like the film's English name, "Haunted," Gregory Parker was really fascinated by Ingrid Bergman.
This is Gregory Pike, in a public interview in 1987 five years after Ingrid Bergman's death, personally and publicly acknowledged that his favorite of all the actresses he has worked with is Ingrid Bergman.

And his secret relationship with Ingrid Bergman arose during the filming of Doctor Edward: "All I can say is that it's hard not to fall in love with her around her, and I really loved her, and that's when I also found myself having to stop." ”
In 1945, the seventh year of ingrid Bergman's marriage to her first husband, swedish doctor Peter Lindström, and Gregory Peck, who had just married his first wife, Gritta Kukonen, what caused him to terminate their relationship after the filming of "Doctor Edward".

In Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980), alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) to producer David M. By the time O. Selznick David O. Selznick (1902–1965) offered Ingrid Bergman to star in Dr. Edward, Ingrid Bergman had already gained a foothold in Hollywood with Casablanca/North African Spy Casablanca (1942) and Battlefield Bells For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), and famed herself in the film Under the Gaslight/Hate JoanLou Gaslight (1944). She won the Best Actress Award at the 17th Academy Awards in 1945 and became a prominent figure in Hollywood.
On the set of the film Doctor Edward/Smashbound (1945), Alfred Hitchcock was always so accommodating in front of Ingrid Bergman
While Ingrid Bergman was taking on the filming of The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), agent David Bergman was working on the filming of The Bells of St. Mary's (1945). O. Selznick told Ingrid Bergman about Alfred Hitchcock's offer to make a film while the iron was hot, and Ingrid Bergman's first reaction was to reject the project in front of his agent and directly say: "I don't want to be a cattle"!
At that time, there were many rumors in Hollywood that Alfred Hitchcock was extremely difficult to get along with on the set, the most famous of which was the "actor is a livestock" statement.
No wonder Ingrid Bergman was so resistant, but David Bergman was so resistant. O. Selznick told her that the project would take her to the next level, so Ingrid Bergman reluctantly agreed.
Alfred Hitchcock (right), known for his harshness about actors, was always so amiable when Ingrid Bergman came to the set of Doctor Edward/Smasherbound (1945), even Gregory Peck (left).
"Doctor Edward" is the first suspense film shot in Hollywood, after World War II, the master of film suspense. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Frances Beeding.
The story isn't complicated: Dr. Edward (Gregory Parker) takes over as the director of a psychiatric nursing home, and he falls in love with the young and beautiful Dr. Beaterson (Playa Ingrid Bergman).
But Dr. Beaterson soon discovers that he is an imposter psychopath. His real name was J.B, and he suffered from amnesia, didn't even know who he was, and even dreamed that he was the murderer of Dr. Edward.

J.B escapes from the nursing home under the pseudonym John Brown, stays at the Imperial Hotel in New York, where Dr. Beaterson believes he is innocent, and in order to dispel his criminal complex, she goes to the hotel to find him, avoids the police and hides with her teacher, Professor Alikson Brunov (Michael Chekhov).
Late at night, J.B's condition recurred, and the old professor asked him to drink milk with sedatives, so that he could sleep peacefully. The next day, by analyzing his dreams, they unraveled the deep criminal complex deep within him.
Dr. Beaterson also learned from his dreams and Dr. Murchison (Leo. G. Carol Leo G. Carroll) in the gaffe, it is analyzed that the real murderer is Dr. Murchison, who poisoned Dr. Edward out of jealousy, and finally Dr. Murchison confessed his guilt and raised a gun to commit suicide.
This is the most memorable image of the dream passage in the film Doctor Edward/Spotbound (1945).
In the film, Dr. Bitson and Professor Alixon Brunovson's analysis of J.B's dream is the most wonderful part of the whole film, and it is through the interpretation of dreams that they analyze the root of his mental crux and the truth of the facts, and through the image display on the screen, the audience has a general understanding of Freud's dream theory.
The film directly opened the way for psychoanalytic films with psychoanalytic themes, and alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954) and Psycho/Psycho (1960) were further excavations and refinements of psychoanalytic themes, and many other directors were influenced by Alfred Hitchcock to produce their own films on psychoanalytic psychology.

Examples include Stanley Kubrick Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) A Clockwork Orange (1971), Milos Forman Milos Forman (1932-2018) FlyIng Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and David Lynch's Blue Velvet (1986) and so on.
It was the first major work of Gregory Pike's film career and his first collaboration with one of Hollywood's most popular actresses, named Ingrid Bergman, known as the "Iceberg Beauty." Gregory Parker was a year younger than Ingrid Bergman, who was a new junior at the time, and Ingrid Bergman was already very popular.

In the book Gregory Pike by the American writer Gregory Peck, Gregory Pike recalls that during the filming of Doctor Edward, "the director never changed his own mind."
When Alfred Hitchcock instructed Gregory Pike on the spot, he often left Gregory Pike to the point. For example, once When Alfred Hitchcock made Gregory Pike's facial expression tighten, the director didn't tell him why he was tightening the expression and what kind of feelings he used to make the expression, but just asked him to make it.
This was too abstract and mechanical for Gregory Pike.
Alfred Hitchcock's approach to directing left Gregory Pike confused and panicked, and he became more conciliatory and cautious, often causing unnecessary reshoots.
Leonard Leif Leonard Reeve said: "I remember the simple scene where Gregory Pike and Ingrid Bergman met at the train station with a mobile camera, and at least 16 performances were remade because of Gregory Pike. Even a simple shot of a mannesiac waking up from a coma took 3 hours to shoot. ”

At the time, ingrid Bergman, who was already well known, was slightly disturbed to find that the film star who played the male lead for the first time in her film career was slightly younger than her. The handsome young man, who emerged in The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), was named "the most promising young actor on screen" by a film magazine column.
When Ingrid Bergman joined the group, she found a strange phenomenon that the legendary things did not happen to her, and the director who took pleasure in torturing the actors treated her like a guest. "He'll sit patiently and listen to your different opinions, whether at work or in life, and he's a guy I can talk about."
During the filming of the film Doctor Edward/Spotbound (1945), Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman Ingrid Bergman went on radio to collaborate on the radio drama Anna Karenina.
In fact, on the set of Doctor Edward, Alfred Hitchcock was very dismissive of all the staff except Ingrid Bergman, and Gregory Pike did not get the director's slightest good look. Even Ingrid Bergman couldn't see it on the spot, but Alfred Hitchcock told Ingrid Bergman, "Gregory Pike needs to keep learning and improving." ”
But in another autobiography by Gregory Pike, he goes on to say that Alfred Hitchcock was always "gracious and kind" in the field, like a considerate parent.

Alfred Hitchcock poured all his interest and attention into Ingrid Bergman, and even had a strained relationship with his wife, Emma Revere Alma Reville (1899-1982).
On the set of Doctor Edward, Alfred Hitchcock deliberately abandoned the low-brightness lighting method used to shoot female stars, and instead used strong light to clearly place Ingrid Bergman's face in the center of the screen, and his explanation was: "Ingrid Bergman did not need the help of lighting at all (cover-up)".
Tibby Hedren, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963) and Marnie the Thief (1964), told the media that Alfred Hitchcock made sexual demands directly to her and abused her on set.
Ingrid Bergman also told her friends privately: "Filming with Alfred Hitchcock is a terrible thing because he often runs into the dressing room to do some provocative movements." However, Alfred Hitchcock was not the type that Ingrid Bergman preferred, so Alfred Hitchcock's co-operation did not work for Ingrid Bergman.
So, the two were at peace on set, and Alfred Hitchcock was waiting for a better moment.
Heda Hopper (1885-1966), Hollywood's "queen of gossip", received a tip that Ingrid Bergman was in love with Gregory Pike from Doctor Edward.

The last time Heda Hopper was supposed to write about ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotton Joseph Cotten (1905-1994) being hit in the movie Under the Gaslight/Hate Lock Joan Lou Gaslight, he was killed by David Bergman and Joseph Cotton. When O. Selznick found out, he made a phone call, and Heda Hopper didn't report on the big producer's face.
This time is different, the current Ingrid Bergman in Hollywood is a stormy figure, if written out is definitely a topic in the city.
In an interview in the late 1940s, Ingrid Bergman believed that of the actors she had worked with, the most memorable was Gregory Pike.

Asked her why, she said that his temperament was different from other stars, in private he was very melancholy and very neurotic and bold, he was different from Humphrey Bopgart (1899-1957) and Jaly Cooper Gary Cooper (1901-1961), he was very strong and assertive on set, and also different from Gary Grant (1904-1986) who was good at adjusting his form on the set, and Gregory Pike always wants to get clear instructions to perform, he makes people feel like they are protecting him!

In fact, when Gregory Pike was alive, he never talked openly about Hollywood actresses. Even though there was a lot of gossip coming to him for verification, he refused to respond.
In her biography of Ingrid Bergman, written by Lawrence Remo, she quotes a passage from a colleague who did not want to be named: "One day, it was time for filming, but Gregory Parker and Ingrid Bergman arrived late, and the two were not dressed properly. The crew has all kinds of speculation about this..."
Afterwards, when Lawrence Remo interviewed Gregory Pike and mentioned the matter, Gregory Pike replied: "I have nothing to say about this. ”

However, times passed, and in 1987, when Brad Darakhi, a reporter for People magazine, asked about Gregory Parker's favorite actress, he did hint at a very close relationship with Ingrid Bergman: "All I can say is that at that time, I did fall in love with her (Bergman), but I thought I should stop there... I'm still young, and she's still young. We had many weeks working closely and intensely together. ”
What kind of tip did Heda Hopper receive? It turned out that Alfred Hitchcock often tortured Gregory Pike on the set, and Ingrid Bergman often cheered him up in private, so that the two people quickly developed feelings and could not control their feelings when filming emotional scenes, And Alfred Hitchcock could clearly feel the breath of love on the spot, which made the big director angry enough.

Even more surprisingly, in the third month of filming, Gregory Pike asked Ingrid Bergman to elope, which frightened Ingrid Bergman and felt that he was more crazy and unreliable than Joseph Cotton.
Ingrid Bergman advised Gregory Pike to finish the scene before they made a decision. Gregory Pike accepted Ingrid Bergman's advice.

Who would have thought that within a few years, Ingrid Bergman would really elope, but not with Gregory Pike, but with the Italian director Roberto Rossellini (1906-1977), who looked a lot like Alfred Hitchcock.
It was during his third collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock on Under Capricorn (1949), when Ingrid Bergman met the Italian director Roberto Rossellini, and the two quickly abandoned their families and came together.
It was Hollywood's biggest entertainment event and scandal of the late 1940s, just as the two generations of "American sweethearts" Meg Ryan and Winona Ryder were completely abandoned by American audiences.

At that time, not only did Alfred Hitchcock break his heart, but the movie "Acacia" was also abandoned by the market. Alfred Hitchcock didn't feel bad about losing money on the film, believing that Ingrid Bergman betrayed him because she left him and went to another director.
Originally, the news that Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Pike were in love was about to be published on December 28, 1945, before the release of "Doctor Edward", Heda Hopper was full of joy after writing the manuscript, but the people in the editorial department privately told David Hopper about it. O. Selznick, horrified, hurried to find Ingrid Bergman to verify the matter, and Ingrid Bergman confessed frankly.

David S. O. Selznick did not think of the artist he signed, self-produced and sold, really fat water does not flow to outsiders, two people under his nose to fall in love, but he is the last to know.
David S. After talking to Ingrid Bergman, O. Selznick drove to Helda Hopper's office, talked to Heda Hopper about the terms, and promised Heda Hopper that he could come directly to him for anything in the future, and finally Heda Hopper asked the newspaper to remove the manuscript, and after the filming of "Dr. Edward", Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Pike broke up.

Ingrid Bergman told him why he had broken up and wanted his forgiveness, and for the sake of his future and for the sake of life, Gregory Parker could only support Ingrid Bergman's decision.
But they still had contacts in private, and during Ingrid Bergman's most difficult time, Gregory Pike made a special trip to Italy to visit her.
Doctor Edward was the third grossing film in the United States in 1945 and was Alfred Hitchcock's most profitable film of the 1940s. One of the reasons is that it has a very fresh combination of Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Parker.
Ingrid Bergman Ingrid Bergman gave up the American film market for Roberto Rossellini, and Gregory Peck Gregory Peck made a special trip to Italy to visit her, which shows the depth of their "friendship"
Gregory Pike's character suffers from amnesia, believing he killed someone but can't remember the situation.
In this play, although the young Gregory Pike does not have the charm of "Roman Holiday", he is handsome and dashing, but the image of a trance-like mental patient is not his best character.
Although Gregory Pike's performance was controversial, the success of Doctor Edward was unquestionable in that era.

Ingrid Bergman plays his psychoanalytic doctor, who falls in love with him while helping him free himself from mental torture. Patient hallucinations are constantly present in the film – the most memorable dream passage in the history of cinema.
David S. O. Selznick once asked Alfred Hitchcock if he knew about Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Pike, and Alfred Hitchcock said I could feel it, but I can tell you for sure that I didn't let you know about the two of them.
David S. O. Selznick said I didn't ask you who sent the message.
