Movie Reviews of Suspicion
Movie Review: Another Hitchcock masterpiece!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Suspicion is one of my favorite movies and I recently read Before the Fact, the Frances Iles novel that it's based on. I was surprised at how closely the movie tracked the book with the most notable exception of the ending, which of course was dictated by the studio. Lina was such a sympathetic character and beautifully portrayed by the lovely and talented Joan Fontaine. She is so aware, of both her faults and Johnnie's, that it's almost painful to watch. At times I wanted to shake her--she is drawn to Johnnie like an addict to their drug and unable to resist his charm. Unlike some others, I think Cary Grant was perfectly cast as the charming, handsome ne'er-do-well. We all know (or should know) that ugliness may reside in some of the most attractive packages and how weak, lonely people are preyed upon (Lonely Hearts Murderers, etc).
For those who haven't read it, I highly recommend reading the book, it's also fantastic.
Movie Review: Joan, Cary and the glass of Milk
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been waiting for years for this movie to come out on DVD! Suspicion is among my three favorite Hitckcock movies, with North By Northwest and The Birds being the two other ones. Many people complain about the "disappointing ending". Even the Master of Suspense himself wasn't happy with the ending. Until French director Francois Truffaut told him how brilliant it actually was and I couldn't agree more. Through the whole movie, the audience sees and experiences the story through the eyes of Lina, played by the amazing Joan Fontaine. We the audience, just like our heroine Lina, are convinced that Johnny is up to no good and that he has murder on his mind. Only at the very end to we realize we've all been fooled! He wasn't planning her murder but his own suicicde! And the famous glass of milk in the story? Just a plain glass of milk ... with a light bulb in it!Movie Review: Classic Hitchcock
Summary: 5 Stars
Some of Hitchcock's obsessions are clearly evident in this follow up to Rebecca (an equally great movie). The entrance to the film on a train, the glass of milk, the cliff hanging car scene (famous from North by Northwest), and the brilliant use of music - all appear again in this classic Hitchcock film. The master is at his best in this subtle suspense filled drama - with Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine delivering performances that are typical coming from such talented stock - Hitchcock seems to have worked well with Grant from the beginning. I rate this 5 stars and do not see it as being 'lesser' at all - it has all the necessary ingredients for enjoyment!Movie Review: Suspicion: A Must for Movie-Lovers and Meet the Actor
Summary: 5 Stars
It does not matter how "young" you are, it does not matter if you watch only color movies. This BW movie is ageless as Cary Grant is in his movies. He is at his best and is highly entertaining as always having an infinite amount of energy. It is fascinating to watch the movie as it evolves with a rather surprizing ending. "Grab" this movie. The picture quality is excellent. This is the type of movie that you can watch several times and never get bored. It would be unfortunate if new generations do not familiarize themselves with such classics and such actors as Cary Grant.Movie Review: Do we ever know them?
Summary: 5 Stars
Can the one you married ever be known before you marry them or is marriage a leap of faith into the great unknown? The emotional baggage that we bring with us into relationships is magnified by marriage and all too often we give up on one another. This classic Hitchcock formula thriller portrays these themes like few others. Is he the loving husband he seems at times or the cold-hearted killer he seems at other times? Can he ever be trusted? It will keep you on the edge of your seat to hear the answer with a couple of lovable but flawed characters along the way.
