Movie Reviews of Suspicion
Movie Review: RKO Tampering Mars Hitchcock Thriller
Summary: 2 Stars
Cut from the same stylistic cloth as "Rebecca," director Alfred Hitchcock's first teaming with Cary Grant was this disappointing 1941 adaptation of Francis Iles' novel "Before the Fact." Hitchcock successfully cast Grant against type as Johnnie - a reckless, irresponsible playboy who marries the shy Lina (played by an ineffectual Joan Fontaine). Because of mounting circumstantial evidence, Lina suspects that her husband is a murderer. Lina's psychological tug of war builds to a ludicrous climax that negates the entire film. If Hitchcock had his way, "Suspicion" would have evolved into a disturbing thriller rather than a missed opportunity. Unfortunately, RKO altered the framework of "Suspicion" with the same callous insensitivity that marred Orson Welles' "The Magnificent Ambersons." Another drawback is the lack of chemistry between Grant and Fontaine. In future films, Hitchcock made certain Grant was paired with romantically compatible co-stars such as Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly. "Suspicion" should be viewed as a blueprint for a more rewarding Hitchcock-Grant collaboration, "Notorious" (1946).
