It is always interesting to watch a movie made in an era before you were born. You can see the old cars, admire the fashion and wonder if people were really like that.
In today's world the female lead of Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion, would not be seen as a realistic person, nor would she be viewed with much sympathy. She was married to a gambler and a spendthrift who couldn't keep a job, aka a loser, but handsome. Then and now women fall for that type of guy all the time. However, in the 21st century she would be seen as needy and weak. Why didn't she divorce him? How could she love that? Perhaps in 1941 maybe she would have been considered strong and loyal.
There are three reasons to watch this movie:
1. You like classic film
2. You like Alfred Hitchcock
3. You think Cary Grant was the most handsome man that ever lived -- which may be true. However, this movie made me think that Cary Grant may have been gay. Checking online, my "suspicions" are confirmed. Get it? The movie was called Suspicion...I know, I know, I'm not funny.
Anyway, there are better classic films more worthy your time.
