SUSPICION

Shy Lina McLaidlaw lives with her wealthy parents and never has any suitors. That is until the charming Johnny Aysgarth sweeps her off her feet and proposes to her. But when Johnny’s friend Beaky dies mysteriously, Lina suspects Johnny of murder and starts believing that she will be his next victim.

Few filmmakers could subvert Cary Grant’s refined, affable screen persona quite like Alfred Hitchcock. Told almost exclusively through the eyes of Joan Fontaine’s gaslit heiress, Suspicion serves up a masterclass in subjective direction that puts our trust in the genial leading man to the test.
