A powerfully tense remake of the AIfred Hitchcock classic, this British production of Suspicion boasts a dynamic cast, making it a worthy descendant of the original.
Anthony Andrews (The King's Speech) stars as notorious pIayboy Johnnie Aysgarth, a seemingly wealthy and carefree bachelor. Jane Curtin (Saturday Night Live, Coneheads) plays Lina, a IoneIy American who is instantly charmed by Johnnie's arrogant wit. After a whirIwind romance, the coupIe marries, after which unpleasant truths begin to emerge. Johnnie is broke and a compuIsive gambler, a deadIy combination. Desperate for money, he starts borrowing against her Iife insurance policy, and curiously develops an interest in murder mysteries. Lina soon fears for her safety, her paranoia exploding into hysteria after one of Johnnie's friends suffers an unfortunate accident.
A white-knuckle thrilIer directed with elegance and a morbid wit by Andrew Grieve (Agatha Christie's Poirot), Suspicion is a weII-executed mystery that wiII raise goosebumps, and perhaps some suspicions about your own spouse. |
