Review of Suspicion (1941) by Chris W — 09 Nov 2012
One of many pairings between Hitch and Grant. This one sees Cary play against type as a scheming playboy who sweeps Joan Fontaine's wealthy wallflower named Lina off her feet and into an initially nice romantic marriage. However, she soon becomes suspicious and begins to think that her husbands reputation of being a gold digger might be true, which obviously would make her his next target.
The film is rather slow burning, but it's a fairly solid mix of romance, mystery, and suspense. It takes a bit to get into it and really get involved, but once that happens, this is a really enjoyable film. The ending is kinda a mixed bag, but it's a fun ride nonetheless, especially since the film does a great job of towing the line between whether or not Lina's suspicions are true or not.
Add in some great production vlaues and special effects, and you've got yourself a winning film. I might be slightly inflating my grade on this one, but even then, this is still a strong movie that you should make a point to check out.
