Review of Suspicion (1941) by Dawdlingpoet — 24 Nov 2021
In todays world, it seems quite a cliched film but of course this film is quite old. I like that the female character is relatively quick to sense that something is wrong and stands up for herself somewhat, although I got really quite annoyed at her new husband repeatedly referring to her as 'monkey face', which I assume to be some kind of term of endearment.
The husbands acquaintances (including a chap referred to as 'beaky') seemed somewhat suspcious and I'd say this film reflects the moral standards of the time it's set in. Its somewhat tense and I found it an interesting watch, not least how the characters develop, with the husband changing his demeanour at times.
The film features pretty good performances and its an Alfred Hitchcock film, so if your a fan of his work then yes, I'd recommend it, although the ending is a little unsatisfactory perhaps.
