Product Description

From Robert Siodmak, the legendary director of The Spiral Staircase, The Killers, Cry of the City, Criss Cross and The Crimson Pirate, comes this classic film noir starring acting great Charles Laughton (Witness for the Prosecution). Philip Marshall (Laughton) is a kind, henpecked accountant who strikes up a friendship with Mary Gray (Ella Raines, Phantom Lady), a young unemployed stenographer who had approached him for work. He gradually finds himself falling in love with her, but keeps the relationship platonic. With his wife suspecting him of having an affair, Philip asks her for a divorce, but she refuses and threatens him with exposure and scandal. When his wife is found dead of an apparent accident, Inspector Huxley (Stanley Ridges, An Act of Murder) of Scotland Yard suspects Marshall of murder, but is unable to prove it or establish a motive.

Charles Laughton’s acting is so great you will cry at the end. The plot is amazing . There’s mystery and there’s no bad language. So worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sleeper noir
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023

This film is a wonderful example of Charles Laughton's acting gift, as well as his character's love interest, played by Ella Raines. One cannot overlook, however, the strong (and that may be an understatement) portrayal of the "bad" characters, namely Charles' wife and next-door neighbor, who are both excellent. I think the film is great because I disagree with how most reviews read the end of the film -- I believe that Charles is perfectly fine with how everything turns out. That is, I do NOT believe that his character is headed toward failure; I think he has skirted every pitfall and knows that he will enjoy the rest of his life!

4.0 out of 5 stars Splendid capture of London life at the turn of the 20th Century and of a marriage from hell
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
The age difference between Philip and Mary stretches credulity a little, but there is a great deal to enjoy in this film. The depiction of life in London at the turn of the 20th Century is first rate, as is the depiction of a marriage made in hell. The shrewish wife is played wonderfully by Rosalind Ivan.

Laughton is as magnificent as always and the rest of the cast (with one exception) are first-rate.

The one exception is Stanley Ridges as the Inspector, although I suspect that my complaint may be more about the nature of his role, rather than his performance of it.

The narrative is none too subtle. Whilst I enjoyed the film enough to rank it 5*, I feel that the flaws should deter me from that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic old film with subtitles! Hooray!
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2022

I recently watched this old movie on YouTube and I loved it! I had to come to Amazon to see if it was available and it was! Others have described the plot and I don't want to give anything away like someone else in the reviews did, unfortunately! Just a few things I wanted to mention: One is that there is nothing sexy in this movie as in so many other film noirs from the 1940's. Therefore, it can be enjoyed by those who are striving for the virtue of chastity and who love good stories but don't want to stoke the fires of lust in their souls by watching beautiful women acting seductively. The sexy picture of Ella Raines on the cover must be from another one of her movies because she doesn't look anything like that in this film. Secondly, I bought the Kino Lorber dvd and was surprised that there were English subtitles on it which was very nice because some of the dialogue is hard to discern with the British accents. This film kept me guessing right to the end!

Charles Laughton was superb. Ella Raines was always wholesome and sweet. Never once did she appear as she is portrayed on the cover. Was that misleading? Or am I missing something? Earlier in the movie she was describing Phillip (Laughton) as having a son. At the end she goes into the ship's cabin with the son.....implying? But fate intervenes and takes Phillip in a different direction-- then we are left to imagine the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific piece of Victorian noir with a superb Charles Laughton performance!
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2012
Verified Purchase
Set in Victorian era London, an unhappily married man (Charles Laughton) falls in love with a young secretary (Ella Raines, HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO). When his bitter shrew of a wife (Rosalind Ivan, who ironically would play a similar role in Fritz Lang's SCARLET STREET the following year, refuses to give him a divorce and threatens to ruin him and the girl ..... he has no recourse but murder! Expertly directed by noir stylist Robert Siodmak (THE KILLERS), this is a wonderful thriller. The Victorian period setting allows Siodmak and cinematographer Paul Ivano (QUEEN KELLY) an opportunity to dispense an atmosphere rich in environment and tone. But it's Laughton's adroit performance, one of his very best, that's the film's backbone. Laughton's Philip Marshall is a decent man, not a murderer so one's empathy is entirely with him. The two murder victims in the film are vile, destructive persons whose death benefits those around them. The detective (Stanley Ridges) who pursues Laughton is only doing his job yet he comes across to a modern viewer as unappealing as LES MISERABLES's Javert dogged pursuit of Jean Valjean. The film is not without humor, the funeral scene has some wit to it. A jewel of a suspense film. The nicely applied score is by Frank Skinner (WRITTEN ON THE WIND). With Henry Daniell, Dean Harens and Molly Lamont.

The Llamentol DVD from Spain is a nice clean transfer in its appropriate 1.33 aspect ratio. The audio is in both English or Spanish with optional Spanish subtitles.

4.0 out of 5 stars du grand siodmak...
Reviewed in France on December 29, 2019
Verified Purchase
Robert Siodmak  (1900-1970), le maître du film noir, réalise  The Suspect  en 1944. Dans le genre, c'est l'une de ses réalisations les plus passionnantes. Surtout connu pour  Criss Cross  et  Les Tueurs  (deux films réalisés tout juste après), le cinéaste a également tourné en France : les cinéphiles ne bouderont pas  Mollenard , par exemple, un long-métrage de 1938. Pour cette nouvelle édition ESC (octobre 2019) : rien à redire. La restauration est très correcte et laisse voir des qualités cinématographiques indéniables (1). Qualités de la photographie et du son, mais surtout qualité du scénario et de l'interprétation ( Charles Laughton , le futur réalisateur de  La Nuit du Chasseur , œuvre cultissime et incontournable du 7ème art). Le pitch ? Un vieux couple fait chambre à part. Ils ne s'entendent plus.  Rosalind Ivan  que le public découvrira sur les écrans l'année suivante dans  Scarlet Street  (un film majeur signé Fritz Lang) incarne Cora, la femme de Philip Marshall (Charles Laughton). C'est une vieille femme acariâtre qui peste contre tout, la « chieuse » parfaite, proche de la soixantaine et souffrant, on le devine, de ne plus avoir de rapports sexuels avec son mari. Il y a du  Edouard et Agrippine  (René de Obaldia) dans ce scénario signé à l'origine par James Ronald, romancier de polars un peu tombé dans les oubliettes. Pire encore : Cora est d'une jalousie maladive (alors que son mari n'a rien d'un Gary Cooper ou d'un jeune premier). Elle est également manipulatrice comme ça n'est pas permis. Il ne faudra donc pas s'étonner si Philip ne veut plus de cette union, de cette situation maritale inconfortable où il a fait preuve de tant de patience. Comme on dit dans la culture populaire : quand la coupe est pleine, il suffit d'une goutte pour faire déborder le vase. Philip tente de se contrôler. On se demande comment un tel homme peut supporter tant de bêtises...

Il reste un être doux et affable. Petit bourgeois faisant tourner ses affaires, il n'a rien du « vilain » shakespearien. Et pourtant, un jour, n'en pouvant plus, il demande le divorce. Sa femme refuse ! Je n'en dirai pas davantage... Si ça n'est qu'il y a eu aussi une rencontre... et qu’il va y avoir un accident dans les escaliers... Ah, les escaliers,  Hitchcock  connaissait aussi... Scotland Yard entre alors en scène.  Ella Raines  donne, là, dans le personnage de Mary Gray, l'une de ses meilleures interprétations (ou l'un de ses meilleurs rôles, avec celui qu'elle a tenu dans  Phantom Lady  du même Siodmak, mais aussi dans  Impact  de Arthur Lubin, ou encore dans  Conquering Hero  de Preston Sturges, ce dernier titre étant connu sous le nom de Héros D'Occasion, film correct qu'a tout récemment réédité  Wild Side Video ). Alors quoi ? Disparition ? Divorce ? Séparation possible ou pas ? Meurtre ? Accident ? Refaire sa vie ? Comment ? Avec quelle conscience et quelle honnêteté ? Autant de questions posées aux spectateurs… Quant à Ella Raines, je reviens vers elle et fais ce constat : quelle femme c'était ! Je suis toujours étonné qu'elle n'ait pas davantage percé au cinéma... En tout cas, on comprend qu'on tient là l'un des films, sinon LE film préféré de son auteur (ce que ne manque pas de rappeler Bertrand Tavernier dans  50 ans de cinéma américain ). L'histoire est donc prenante, on ne lâche rien à ce drame édouardien (l'histoire se situe en 1902). On a surtout envie de savoir comment cela va se dénouer. La chute, dont je ne dirai rien, est simplement fabuleuse, très réussie (une sorte de cerise sur le gâteau...). Siodmak pouvait être fier de son œuvre. Qui ne le serait pas ? And Hats off, Mr Laughton. Et de se dire que derrière l'honnêteté, derrière la « grande classe » de certains êtres, peuvent se cacher (parfois, et souvent même) des blessures invisibles...

Si ce drame s'adresse à tout public, il n’est pas aussi inoubliable (en tout cas pour moi) que ne le sont  Criss Cross  et  Les Tueurs  (merci Carlotta). Il régalera toutefois petits et grands cinéphiles (à partir de 12-13 ans, disons). Pour adolescents et jeunes adultes qui aimeraient étudier le 7ème Art, et des intrigues à la Agatha Christie ou à la Roald Dahl, « The Suspect » est forcément digne d’être regardé. Un film délicieusement incontournable dans le genre. Mieux : une œuvre majeure dans le cinéma américain des années 40... Un peu comme le  Témoin à Charge  de Billy Wilder (Witness for the Prosecution) réalisé au cours de la décennie suivante, c'est le genre d’enquête criminelle dont on ressort ravi. Le genre de film après visionnage duquel je me dis « ben là, j’ai passé une très bonne soirée ». Y a de quoi réfléchir aussi. Food for Thoughts, comme ils disent outre-Manche. C’est ça qu’est intéressant finalement, de pouvoir ensuite discuter ou échanger sur tel et tel film. Pas seulement de dire, « bah, je n’ai pas aimé » ou « j’ai aimé », mais de se rappeler telle ou telle scène, et pourquoi elle est réussie ou pas. Même chose pour l’interprétation. En tout cas, pour moi, « The Suspect » est un excellent récit, verni d'une excellente intrigue qui n'a rien de désuet, ni de suranné, ou alors ça sera d'un charme « suranné » grâce au contexte édouardien de l’intrigue (d'ailleurs, comment ne pas songer, du moins par moments, à  The Ghost and Mrs Muir , l'un des chefs-d'œuvre atemporels de Joseph L. Mankiewicz ?). C'est l'un de ces films que l'on (re)verra, bien installé(e)(s) dans le noir, en compagnie d'une bonne tasse de thé et d'une madeleine... de Proust... Et c'est tout sauf kitsch. Charles Laughton est impressionnant bien sûr (quelques années auparavant, ses performances étaient déjà bouleversantes dans  Quasimodo ... mais aussi dans  Les Révoltés du Bounty ... le capitaine Bligh, c'est lui). Quel acteur, mes ami(e)s, mais quel acteur ! Voilà, je ne vous en dirai pas davantage...

__________________________________________________

(1) L'édition ESC présente ce long-métrage uniquement en VOSTF (version originale sous-titrée en français). Pas de VF. Pas de bonus. Quant aux personnages, juste une remarque supplémentaire : la beauté des êtres n’est pas comme celle des choses; elle est celle d’une créature unique, consciente et volontaire, comme l'a remarqué un jour un écrivain célèbre... A bon entendeur. Et surtout bonne séance de cinéma.
