Alicia Huberman is the daughter of a convicted NAZI spy. Born in Germany, emigrated to the U.S., she settles in Miami. Although she doesn't turn her father in after she discovers he's a spy, she doesn't help him either, something we learn first-hand from surveillance recordings.Alicia's notoriety comes in part from her father's crimes and in part from her self-destructive behavior following her discovery of his spying. Alicia's criminal record is limited to a DUI. Turning to the other side isn't much help when a U.S. intelligence agent--T.R. Devlin--asks her to spy on her father's associates. While Alicia doesn't drink as much alcohol as before, she does--in a way--develop a drinking problem of sorts. Alicia's real problem is with men. The Commodore--who won't say he loves her--is the second man we meet in Alicia's life after her father. Although we don't know much about him, Alicia apparently does. When The Commodore invites her to his yacht, he says to her, You know the place. Whatever Alicia remembers about that yacht drains the blood from her face and makes her decide to go to Rio De Janeiro with Devlin, where he will literally kick her into the arms of yet another man: Alex Sebastian.Despite all the stealth to uncover Sebastian's secret plans against the U.S., Devlin's love for Alicia is the best kept secret in Notorious. Devlin's long-time-coming profession of love is like a fuse finally burning down to a bomb. It's the really suspended moment in this Hitchcock masterpiece. The U.S. wins the woman and the war, and the Nazi has to stay at home with his mother. What a happy ending! Show less «
