Cary Grant in Suspicion

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

with Joan Fontaine

Sensitive society girl Lina McLaidlaw marries popular man-about-town Johnnie Aysgarth. At first they are happy, but when she discovers he is an embezzler and perhaps a murderer she begins to fear for her own life...
This was the first of four films which Grant made with Hitchcock and it provided him with one of his finest roles. Equally memorable is Joan Fontaine who won an Academy Award for her performance as Lina.
