Suspicion

MOVIE #1,572 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 04.26.24 EVERY OTHER FRIDAY I’M REVIEWING THE COMPLETE WORKS OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. THIS IS TGI-HITCHOCK! Even in the end the woman has no agency. So what if Cary Grant isn't a murderer, he's an incredibly bad husband and basically your average shit-head who is not fit to shine Joan Fontaine’s shoes. I personally wouldn’t let him call me Monkeyface, but that’s me. The Wiener Blut Waltz goes hard though and I like how it’s incorporated into the score during the more suspenseful moments. This is a very solid movie, much in line with the vibe of Rebecca but on a smaller, more insular level. One thing I regret about this Hitchcock project is that I haven’t been compiling the man himself’s famous cameos. I like how in many of these earlier pictures, they’re completely innocuous, almost impossible to find/notice. I also googled “monkey face suspicion compilation” and there was a monkey face suspicion compilation…
