1:30
SUSPICION
(1941, RKO Radio Pictures. 99 min.)
Scr. Samson Raphaelson. Dir. Alfred Hitchcock.
Joan Fontaine won a Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of spinsterish Lina McLaidlaw, who, despite the warnings of friends and family, marries handsome rogue Johnnie Aysgarth (Cary Grant) . . . only to grow increasingly suspicious that Johnnie is only after her money and will stop at nothing, even murder, to get it.
3:30
THE BIGAMIST
(1953, The Filmakers. 79 min.)
Scr. Collier Young. Dir. Ida Lupino.
A San Francisco couple wants to bolster their unfulfilled marriage by adopting a child. But when a social worker checks the husband's background, he learns there's a second wife in L.A.! This remarkable film uses a familiar noir framework to turn the genre's tropes inside out, flipping gender roles and dissecting the pitfalls of buying into the matrimonial myth of "happily ever after."
