Suspicion
There is some nice social comedy -- something that writer Samson Raphaelson, leading man Cary Grant, and even director Hitchcock are habitually quite good at -- having to do with a spoiled rich boy's reaction to sudden economic constraint ("Get a job?"). On the suspense side, though, Hitchcock indulges in some unprincipled hinting, shamming, and thumb-screwing to get you to believe that Cary Grant would plot the murder of his simpering bride, Joan Fontaine. 1941.
