Warner Archive's 1080p AVC-encoded Blu-ray of 'Suspicion' delivers a sharp, detail-rich, film-like presentation with well-resolved grain, rich blacks, and excellent contrast, elevating the visual experience above prior releases despite minor distractions from the studio-shot backdrops.

Audio: 72

The DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono track of 'Suspicion' delivers crystal-clear dialogue, and an expertly restored soundtrack free of hiss or pops. Franz Waxman's score is faithfully rendered with impressive dynamic range, filling the room with rich, well-modulated tones.

Extra: 31

Laurent Bouzereau's featurette on 'Suspicion' offers an informative and well-produced analysis with insights from notable critics and directors, contrasting with the lackluster quality of the theatrical trailer, making the extras a mixed but valuable experience for fans of Hitchcock's work.

Movie: 66

"Suspicion" on Blu-ray offers a captivating portrayal by Cary Grant under Alfred Hitchcock's direction, with a new 1080p transfer that enhances its expressive black-and-white photography. While Joan Fontaine's Oscar-winning performance stands out, the film's ending, altered from the original novel's shocking conclusion, remains controversial and somewhat unsatisfying.
