THE SUSPECT (1944) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Robert Siodmak
Charles Laughton, Ella Raines, Rosalind Ivan
Henry Daniell, Stanley Ridges, Molly Lamont
Charles Laughton plays a good-natured shopkeeper who has at least two real good reasons to murder his mean-spirited wife. The question's not whether he'll do it, but when and will he get caught. He's Charles Laughton, so it could go either way. Henry Daniell is his usual sinister self as the wife-beating rotter next door.
