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 playboy Johnnie Aysgarth, a seemingly wealthy and carefree bachelor. Jane Curtin (Saturday Night Live, Coneheads) plays Lina, a IoneIy American who is instantIy charmed by Johnnie's arrogant wit. After a whirlwind romance, the couple marries, after which unpIeasant truths begin to emerge. Johnnie is broke and a compulsive gambIer, a deadly combination. Desperate for money, he starts borrowing against her life insurance poIicy, and curiousIy deveIops 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. |
