Review of Above Suspicion (1943) by Christopher B — 01 Jun 2016

A strong cast (top 16 certainly hit their marks) with good pacing (competent direction & editing) makes this as much an entertaining thriller as a chick flick.

I suspect the lighthearted adventurous tone (loosely wrapped as a honeymoon) was done on purpose. Many families had more than one loved one in the service as this film was released. Making the war effort seem a "fun adventure" helped the women to send their men off more cheerfully. The heavy-hearted reality for each community would soon hit home as some servicemen earned purple hearts.
