The Suspect

Charles Laughton is super in this thriller telling the tale of a man in a loveless marriage to a harridan of a women, "Cora" - really well portrayed by Rosalind Ivan, whose relentless nagging has managed to drive their son from home. When he innocently meets a young lady "Mary" (Ella Raines) his wife determines to ruin their friendship - and his career - so he sets about stopping her. Permanently! Henry Daniell is good as the suspicious "Gilbert Simmons' as is Stanley Ridges as "Insp. Huxley" who has to investigate this mischief and it moves along well until an ending with quite an unexpected twist. Still have never found a rotten Laughton film.
