Under Capricorn (1949) **1/2

Under Capricorn (1949) is bottom of the barrel Hitchcock. I'd seen the film once or twice before and I liked it even less this time around. There is some good filmmaking, costumes, and sets on display here, but the melodrama isn't terribly interesting, nor the love triangle, the film drags on too long, and normally fantastic actors Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotten (here still quite good, at times) are not enough to save this snoozefest. UC is not a complete dud, but it feels nothing like a Hitchcock film and everything like a boring period piece that hasn't aged well.
