there be no doubt that alfred hitchcock be a seriously talented director . many of his film be undeniable classic that have stand the test of time and be highly watchable to this day . this list could include the 39 step and rear window and north by northwest and dial m for murder and vertigo and the bird and shadow of a doubt and and a few other film . however and suspicion be not age well at all and be really so unwatchable that it seem to me that it be probably a bad film even by 1941 standard . the list of scene that work well could be list on a matchbook with a crayon . the script be loose and ridiculous most of the time and but the acting seem so forced and wooden and borderline amateurish throughout and that it be almost unbelievable . joan fontaine try to shore thing up but she be on a slippery slope and cary grant doesn not provide much assistance . his acting be so bad at time that i have see good performance in high school play or college theatre experience class where a chemical engineer be act for the first time with no formal training . after about 30 minute of watch this film you may find yourself reach for the dvd sleeve in the dark to see if you accidentally pick up some kind of special edition version that be cobble together without any editing . the subject matter be serious and yet the film have a silly and trite feel to it that just seem so out of place you become numb with perplexity . suspicion be basically unwatchable and another very very very overrated bad movie .
