Hitchcock worked for David Selznick again when he directed ''[[Spellbound (1945 film)|Spellbound]]'' (1945), which explores [[psychoanalysis]] and features a [[dream sequence]] designed by [[Salvador Dalí]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Boyd |first=David |title=The Parted Eye: ''Spellbound'' and Psychoanalysis |url=https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2000/conference-for-the-love-of-fear/spellbound/ |year=2000 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090211104103/http://archive.sensesofcinema.com:80/contents/00/6/spellbound.html |archive-date=11 February 2009}}</ref> The dream sequence as it appears in the film is ten minutes shorter than was originally envisioned; Selznick edited it to make it "play" more effectively.<ref>{{harvnb|Leff|1987|pp=164–165}}</ref> [[Gregory Peck]] plays amnesiac Dr. Anthony Edwardes under the treatment of analyst Dr. Peterson ([[Ingrid Bergman]]), who falls in love with him while trying to unlock his repressed past.{{sfn|Whitty|2016|pp=408–412}} Two [[Point-of-view shot|point-of-view]] shots were achieved by building a large wooden hand (which would appear to belong to the character whose point of view the camera took) and out-sized props for it to hold: a bucket-sized glass of milk and a large wooden gun. For added novelty and impact, the climactic gunshot was hand-coloured red on some copies of the black-and-white film. The original musical score by [[Miklós Rózsa]] makes use of the [[theremin]], and some of it was later adapted by the composer into Rozsa's Piano Concerto Op. 31 (1967) for piano and orchestra.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Miklos Rozsa Society Website |url=http://www.miklosrozsa.info/mrs/works/aboutPianoConcerto.html |year=2017 |access-date=13 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324124603/http://www.miklosrozsa.info/mrs/works/aboutPianoConcerto.html |archive-date=24 March 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=December 2017}}

<!--mention ''The Paradine Case'' (1947) and the Motion Picture Production Code-->The spy film ''[[Notorious (1946 film)|Notorious]]'' followed next in 1946. Hitchcock told François Truffaut that Selznick sold him, Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant and [[Ben Hecht]]'s screenplay, to [[RKO Radio Pictures]] as a "package" for $500,000 (equivalent to ${{Inflation|US|0.5|1946|r=1}}&nbsp;million in {{Inflation/year|US}}) because of cost overruns on Selznick's ''[[Duel in the Sun (film)|Duel in the Sun]]'' (1946).{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} ''Notorious'' stars Bergman and Grant, both Hitchcock collaborators, and features a plot about Nazis, [[uranium]] and South America. His prescient use of uranium as a plot device led to him being briefly placed under surveillance by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]].{{Sfn|Truffaut|1983|p=168}} According to Patrick McGilligan, in or around March 1945, Hitchcock and Hecht consulted [[Robert Millikan]] of the [[California Institute of Technology]] about the development of a uranium bomb. Selznick complained that the notion was "science fiction", only to be confronted by the news of the detonation of two atomic bombs on [[Hiroshima and Nagasaki]] in Japan in August 1945.{{sfn|McGilligan|2003|pp=370–371}}
