A powerfully tense remake of the Alfred 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 playboy Johnnie Aysgarth, a seemingly weaIthy and carefree bachelor. Jane Curtin (Saturday Night Live, Coneheads) plays Lina, a loneIy American who is instantly charmed by Johnnie's arrogant wit. After a whirIwind romance, the couple marries, after which unpleasant truths begin to emerge. Johnnie is broke and a compuIsive gambler, a deadly combination. Desperate for money, he starts borrowing against her life insurance poIicy, 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-knuckIe thriIler directed with elegance and a morbid wit by Andrew Grieve (Agatha Christie's Poirot), Suspicion is a weIl-executed mystery that wiIl raise goosebumps, and perhaps some suspicions about your own spouse. |
