Suspicion
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Year Released: 1941
Rating: 2.0
Cary Grant wins Joan Fontaine's heart by calling her, affectionately, "Monkey-face," and the two run off together. The picture is cyclical in structure: Fontaine becomes enamored with Grant, finds out (usually through a third party) that Grant has either lied to her or done some horrible act (murder), Fontaine broods, confronts Grant, he sweet-talks her, some little tidbit of information is presented that lets Grant off the hook, Fontaine becomes re-enamored. Can't like a movie where the heroine can't see that her love-interest is a sleaze and 'no good' - you can tell that about him the minute you see him - but at least Hitch and Truffaut liked it.
