8/10
Thriller with star power.....
16 March 2019
A shy young heiress marries a charming gentleman, and soon begins to suspect he is planning to murder her.Lina McLaidlaw (Joan Fontaine) is a prim, proper English lady, and Johnnie Aysgarth (Cary Grant) is a suave, charming playboy.

The film is rather slow burning, but it's a fairly solid mix of romance, mystery, thriller and suspense. One of many pairings between Hitch and Grant. In love Joan Fontaine she was robbed of an Oscar for 1940 Hitchcock's " Rebecca ". However the next year 1941 Joan Fontaine gets her due in this film " Suspicion " with her outstanding performance winning the Oscar Best Actress in a Leading Role. While lacking the complexity and excitement of Hitchcock's best pictures, "Suspicion" is still a good example of his ability to keep the audience in lasting suspense. Most Hitchcock fans will want to see it. Thriller with star power
