Review of Suspicion (1941) by Jeremiah M — 18 Dec 2007
Hitchcock's somewhat morally dubious ironic take on the domestic melodrama is a master class in audience manipulation; by keeping the film rooted in Fontaine's perspective, the movie is essentially an impressionistic portrait of a marriage.
Polanski played this trick in Rosemary's Baby, but to a different end; together the films constitute a comprehensive portrait of domestic paranoia.
