Review of Suspicion (1941) by Uditha D — 02 Jan 2012
It may be one of Hitchcock's lesser films, but Suspicion played well on its title subject - that ever-growing cancer of the human mind. And the best moment of this was in that exact moment when suspicion started forming in her mind - that memorable scrabble table scene where Cary Grant's character vaguely and suddenly says "murder" at the same instance Joan Fontaine spells it on the scrabble board.
This was classic vintage Hitchcock of course, and it was alluringly awesome. The way he portrayed a seeming malevolence to Grant's character, in spite of what we really don't know, was splendidly put.
To put in blandly, this is not one of my very favorite Hitchcock flicks. But I enjoyed it all the same.
