Suspicion at Ambler




Went to see Suspicion at the Ambler theater last night. Suspicion is a 1941 Hitchcock movie we saw it in glorious black and white. The plot build up was masterful, you could cut the tension with a knife, the drama built to the end. But the end was a stinker. Not one of Hitch's better endings. Reading IMDb looks like the ending was the idea of the studio. The ending was not his or the book the movie was based on. I agree with the user comments in IMDB that the ending in the book would have made a much better film. NOTE reading the IMDb is a SPOILER. Suspicion on Wiki.
