FILM 2317: ABOVE SUSPICION (1943)

Joan Crawford always said she wished Alfred Hitchcock had directed this film, and indeed, the film contains many "Hitchcockian" touches, including mistaken identity, music as a plot cue, innocents recruited to do dangerous tasks.

Female bit players were not allowed to wear make-up in scenes that took place in Germany, as Adolf Hitler had banned it in 1933.

ONE SENTENCE REVIEW: A rare sight of Joan Crawford having fun – a very Hitchcockian effort.
