SUSPICION

This is the first movie in which Alfred Hitchcock used Cary Grant as his leading man, and it is the second (and last) time he used Joan Fontaine as his leading lady, though her understated performance earned her several awards, including the Oscar. Grant stars as a roguish playboy who marries the starry-eyed Fontaine. But the young bride begins to doubt her husband's good intentions as his behavior turns increasingly strange and unpredictable. The most memorable scenes are near the film's end when Grant's character climbs the stairs carrying a glass of milk for Joan Fontaine (the intimation being that it is poisoned), and a wild car ride along a dangerous road with cliffs.
