  Suspicion (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suspicion (1941) is a film noir directed by Alfred Hitchcock starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine as a married couple.
Suspicion is one of the famous examples where, in the process of rewriting the novel for the big screen, the plot was tampered with to an extent that Iles´s original intention was completely reversed.
As William L. De Andrea states in his Encyclopedia Mysteriosa (1994), Suspicion "was supposed to be the study of a murder as seen through the eyes of the eventual victim.

 Suspicion Review - The Ultimate Cary Grant Pages
The conclusion was as weak as water compared to quite a compelling film, and it was not the way in which Hitchcock had intended but as always the studios stepped in yet again to ruin another superior film.
Burden of events finally develops mental attitude that her husband would even commit murder to secure funds for repayment, and this suspicion is heightened when Grant's friend, Bruce, dies during visit to Paris - with the wife believing the husband responsible.
However, since Cary Grant was playing the part, it was decided that he could not be a murderer, so the film played out the scenario that Lina only thought in her mind that her husband was going to kill her.

Ricoeur's hermeneutic of suspicion is, ironically, in fact too open and functions as an eternal hermeneutical circle, and fails to realize that hermeneutical procedures may be developed that lead not to an endless circle, but a spiral, where in principle a determinative meaning, coincident with the author's intended meaning, may justifiably be sought and found.
Just as Ricoeur's hermeneutic of suspicion led him to seek to maintain the tension between absolutizing the reader or the text in the process of gaining meaning, so also the shadow of the same hermeneutic may be seen to operate regarding the question of methodology in gaining knowledge.
The hermeneutics of suspicion needs to be balanced by a hermeneutic that is grounded in the recognition that written texts represent valid expressions of their author's intent, and that principles may be established that would guide the reader to that intent.

Kept close to home by her protective parents who anticipate a life of spinsterhood for their only daughter, Lina is whisked up in a whirlwind romance when she meets the notorious lothario Johnnie, who everyone warns her is after her fortune.
Suspicion was Grant's first film with Alfred Hitchcock in what proved to be an interesting expansion of Grant's usual pattern of playing charming, mischievous leads.
The Warner Video DVD of Suspicion sports a sharp fl and white transfer of this well-known Hitchcock standard though Franz Waxman's score sometimes threatens to overwhelm the actor's dialogue in a few scenes.

 DVD Verdict Review - Suspicion
Like several of his earlier British films, Suspicion is almost a pure exercise in tension, uncomplicated by political contexts and world events that would sometimes serve to draw the viewer away from the immediate action on screen.
Suspicion's straightforward plot is a classic model of the way Hitchcock expertly presses his audience's buttons as he slowly cranks up the pressure in each successive scene.
This gorgeous release of Suspicion is one of the more notable releases in Warner Brothers's excellent new Alfred Hitchcock Signature Collection, definitely worthy of purchase as part of the set or as a single disc.

 DVD review of Suspicion - DVD Town   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
One of the most salient features of "Suspicion" is that it begins as what appears to be a light romantic comedy and then gradually becomes a typical Hitchcockian noir mystery, full of diabolical possibilities.
Anyway, "Suspicion" is something of a middle-tier Hitchcock product, not really as suspenseful as it should be and never as romantic or humorous as it could be.
The characters are engaging; the pacing, though somewhat lightweight by Hitchcock standards, is involving; the Franz Waxman music is appropriate and never intrusive or annoying; and the plot is pure Hitchcock, a combination of humor, charm, and...well...suspicions.

'Suspicion' was designed by Hitchcock to be full of argumental traps: the goal was to fool the viewer in the same way he sees how Lina is being fooled by what's happening.
This fact is very important in order to observe the point of view's setting: the story is told continuously from Lina's own point of view, so that we finally come to share her feelings, blaming John for a yet uncommited murder.
'Suspicion' was in principle designed by Hitchcock to make John Aysgarth kill his wife, but as would happen later with 'The Wrong Man', the producer didn't allow Hitchcock to implement a "sad" end.

Suspicion is a great film, as are most Alfred Hitchcock films.
Essentially, Suspicion is the story of a bookish, shy English girl (Joan Fontaine) who falls in love with a charming but irresponsible man named Johnny (Cary Grant).
SUSPICION is the kind of quality film that except for the last minute manages to engage the viewer in a race against time during which one woman must balance her feelings against mounting suspicions against a man whose charm is source both of her love and her deepest fears.

 The Essays of Francis Bacon - Lot Seven
For so far a man ought to make use of suspicions, as to provide, as if that should be true, that he suspects, yet it may do him no hurt.
Suspicions that the mind of itself gathers, are but buzzes; but suspicions that are artificially nourished, and put into men's heads, by the tales and whisperings of others, have stings.
Some in their discourse, desire rather commendation of wit, in being able to hold all arguments, than of judgment, in discerning what is true; as if it were a praise, to know what might be said, and not, what should be thought.

Much as in `Rebecca,' `Suspicion' opens with Joan Fontaine as an inexperienced girl who falls for a worldly man and marries him, little forseeing the heavy personal baggage and closeted skeletons that will test her to the very limit (and perhaps beyond) when they set up house together.
Watching `Suspicion' for the first time, I had a surge of emotion as Fontaine eyeballed the famous dread glass of milk Grant had just set down for her.
"Suspicion," with the change of its ending, brought a different conclusion that, even though the denouement appears to be slapdash and out of place, at least salvages the story as a whole rather than sink it.

It is not necessary for the officer to articulate or identify a specific crime they think is being committed, only that a set of factual circumstances exist that would lead a reasonable officer to believe that criminal activity is occurring.
The one and only purpose of a frisk is to dispel suspicions of danger (to the officer and other persons; i.e., that this person isn't armed and dangerous).
Reasonable suspicion is all that is necessary to detain "alimentary canal smugglers" who may have swallowed balloons containing drugs.

Ninety percent of this thriller is absolutely terrific; but the 10 percent that fails is so troubling that it threatens to undermine all that is wonderful in the rest.
Under Suspicion is a remake of French director Claude Miller's 1981 Garde à Vue, which won Cesar Awards for Best Actor, Supporting Actor, Editing, and Adapted Screenplay; it, in turn, was based on John Wainwright's novel Brainwashed.
All of this makes Under Suspicion sound absolutely great, and, up till near the very end, it is. It is difficult to describe the misstep that so deeply mars the film as a whole without spoiling plot elements that should be kept under wraps.

In its view, fact-specific weighing of circumstances or other multifactor tests introduced uncertainty and unpredictability into the Fourth Amendment analysis, making it necessary to clearly delimit the factors that an officer may consider in making stops such as this one.
It then held that several factors relied upon by the District Court carried little or no weight in the reasonable-suspicion calculus and that the remaining factors were not enough to render the stop permissible.
Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S., 878, tilts in favor of a standard less than probable cause in brief investigatory stops of persons or vehicles, the Fourth Amendment is satisfied if the officer’s action is supported by reasonable suspicion to believe that criminal activity “may be afoot,” United States v.

For all his philanthropic grandeur, Henry is "under suspicion." And at this particular moment, he's under he watchful eye of his old acquaintance and sometime friend, Police Captain Victor Benezet (Morgan Freeman).
Clearly, Under Suspicion does not fit any of these categories, as it stars and was executive-produced by heavy-hitters Freeman and Hackman, directed by Stephen Hopkins (Lost in Space, The Ghost and the Darkness), and was indeed picked up by Lions Gate for distribution.
And so now the cops come at him with their suspicions, putting together all kinds of clues to form a story that -- judging from the film's visual evidence, anyway -- is true.

 Gabriel Josipovici : On Trust: Art and the Temptations of Suspicion : book reviews : spike magazine
Initially, the suspicion of literature described in the book seems to be a problem of our century's worst events rather than Tarbuck's everyday psychology.
Yet such is the nature of suspicion that, once unleashed, it appears to produce a totally convincing and self-consistent world, not simply an alternative way of looking at things but the only way there can possibly be.
Josipovici argues that this is the tension between extreme suspicion and the miraculous trust of each writer in the act of writing.

In one of those twists of fate few could have predicted, 'Guilty By Suspicion' seems a lot more relevant to current events now than it did when it was released back in 1991.
The sight of daily government hearings full of vitriol and circular logic may indeed be unbearably familiar to anybody who's turned on the news lately.
However, 'Guilty By Suspicion' is so anxious to avoid preaching to the converted that it winds up having little new to say, informationally or dramatically, to viewers already aware of the horrors of McCarthyism.

 20th WCP: Towards a Creative Hermeneutic of Suspicion: Recovering Ricoeur's Intervention in the Gadamer-Habermas Debate
Habermas is thus deeply suspicious of Gadamer's understanding of language as an "event in tradition", which we essentially "suffer" as a historical condition and which we doubtless confront in lived experience.
The overall task is not a linguistic task (or the prerogative of "cultural studies"), rather it is a philosophical task (as part of the "fundamental gesture of philosophy").
Thus if Habermas's use of the hermeneutic of suspicion is shot through with ideologiekritik, Ricoeur's would seem to have a more creative edge to it, and one which, in keeping with Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, is full of hope and sagacity.

Some people consider this as one of the "worst" Hitchcock films because of the finale, manipulated by RKO because they didn't want their "golden boy" Cary Grant as a killer.
Fontaine gives a strong performance highlighting Lina's fears and suspicion, and Nigel Bruce is great as the old buddy who knows the truth about John.
This is not Hitchcock's best, but it's an excellent film highlighting the tension and suspicion by using half-truths and justifiable conclusions as plot devices to generate suspense.
