Suspicion

Joan Fontaine and Cary Grant in Suspicion

dvr this

The only person who Hitchcock directed to an Oscar, Joan Fontaine, is wonderfully terrified as a meek heiress who marries a mysterious playboy played with devilish creepiness by Cary Grant at his best. Suspicion is one of Hitchcock’s great suspense melodramas of the 1940s, and it holds up nearly 70 years later, engrossing and thrilling. Fontaine holds up, too; she’s still alive at 95 and living in Carmel.
