	Suspicion (1941) starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In her second role for Hitchcock, Fontaine starts off dowdy - a little too dowdy for Grant to be chasing her for anything other than her money, frankly - then blossoms as she opens herself up to her attractive new husband.
		Fontaine is one of those 1940s actresses that I usually don't like - from the Celia Johnson school of icy reserve - but here she is convincing as the young wife unsure as to whether her husband really is evil or her own middle-class prejudices are clouding her opinion of him.
		He can be seen posting a letter at the village postbox while Fontaine is finding out that her husband has just been sacked from his job.

	Suspicion (1941) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		from Madison, WI "Suspicion" is a classically Hitchcockian film, with Joan Fontaine as a woman who marries a charming scoundrel, played by Cary Grant, who she begins to think might kill for money.
		Parts of the film, such as Grant's "courting" techniques, seem rather dated, but the tension builds well, and my interest was held throughout.
		This seemed to me to be a lesser film than the best of Hitchcock's output during the 40's, such as the earlier "Rebecca" (also with Fontaine) and the later "Notorious", but anyone who enjoys Hitchcock's films in general will likely enjoy this one as well.
