As a master of suspense, Hitchcock is mostly unrivaled andSuspicionis certainly no exception.
Suspicionis based on the 1932 novel,Before the Fact.
It stands to reason thatSuspicioncould have kept its original finale while maintaining its standing in Hitchcock’s cinematic legacy.
More importantly, the actor had proven himself capable of a sinister ending.
Yet,the studio cut scenes that made Grant appear evil, consequently shortening the film’s final runtime.
