Under Capricorn is a 1949 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock based on a novel by Helen Simpson. The movie was co-produced by Hitchcock and Sidney Bernstein for their short-lived production company Transatlantic Pictures and released through Warner Bros. The film starred Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten, Michael Wilding, and Margaret Leighton. The film was Hitchcock's second film in Technicolor and used many ten-minute takes similar to those in Hitchcock's film Rope (1948). The film's failure, partly due to its slowness, and partly due to the adverse publicity of Bergman's extramarital affair with film director Roberto Rossellini, led Hitchcock and Bernstein to dissolve Transatlantic Pictures.
The film is set in 1831 Australia.
- Alfred Hitchcock cameo: A signature occurrence in almost all of Hitchcock's films, he can be seen in the town square during a parade, wearing a blue coat and brown hat at the beginning of the film. He is also one of three men on the steps of Government House 10 minutes later.
