I enjoyed Joan Fontaine but it's not a great Hitchcock. Just kind of boring. The milk scene is the height of this film. Great score as well. Definitely would have been better if they didn't make Hitchcock change the ending..

SPOILER!!
It's not Hitchcock's best film but it's worth watching. I think Joan Fontaine's Oscar was deserved, Cary Grant was also great. It builds tension well, but the ending feels like a missed opportunity. Hitchcock originally wanted it to be darker, with Grant’s character confirmed as a killer, but the studio balked at the idea of tarnishing his good-guy image. So, they changed it.

i’d let cary grant murder me

I’m at the point with Cary Grant’s films, that there’s seldom ever any opportunity to see a movie of his I haven’t seen in theaters. When I saw a theater about an hour from me was showing suspicion on 35mm film, I just knew I needed to bite the bullet and go see it. 

In terms of how I feel about this movie, I really don’t know how to feel. From a film making perspective it’s quite good, But it made me quite tense as a consumer. I think I prefer Cary Grant being an absolute goofball and being dominated by other women, not him dominating them and calling them “monkey face”. 

Definitely would say it’s a success in terms of Hitchcocks suspense, especially with that ending. But as someone who watches Cary Grant movies to swoon over him, I think I’m going to have to stick to rewatching to catch a thief once a month to get my fix.

This movie is alright, nothing memorable but just a little cool old movie.
