Review of Suspicion (DVD)

...afraid, whilst not arousing the suspicion of her husband. She won an Oscar for her efforts. Cary Grant plays a surprisingly dark character. Whilst charming on the outside may or may not have a sinister inner nature. The film has only one memorable special effect, and a low budget one at that.

This one of Hitchcocks more cerebral offerings where acts are not carried out merely alluded to allowing the watchers imagination to fill in the blanks. Joan Fountaine plays a wealthy woman married to a shady Cary Grant. He portrays all his smooth charm which had won him much ...
...self-centred waster who expects his in-laws to look after him but when it becomes evident that this is not the case he looks for other ways to finance his life. After mistaken conversations and identies his apparently murderous intentions come to the mind of his wife leading to the "suspicion".
