December 11 - 19, 2024
A married man pines for a younger woman and sets in motion an increasingly knotty murder plot in this exemplary 1945 noir, starring Charles Laughton as a henpecked shopkeeper who finds himself in a shady, sticky situation.
A married man pines for a younger woman and sets in motion an increasingly knotty murder plot in this 1945 noir, adapted from pulp writer James Ronald’s 1939 novel, This Way Out. Charles Laughton stars as Philip, a henpecked shopkeeper who has eyes for a beautiful young stenographer (Ella Raines); after Philip’s wife dies under shady circumstances, both a blackmailer and a detective show up with their own distinct designs and promptly discover Philip’s secret. An exemplary noir with an oddly tender streak, The Suspect boasts one of the great casts within Siodmak’s oeuvre, especially Laughton as our hapless antihero.
