This article combines a historical investigation with critical analysis of Suspicion (1941), a film long undervalued because of misinformation about its production history. This essay provides a documented account of Suspicion from novel to screenplay to release, considering issues of script adaptation, censorship, responses of preview audiences, and the promotion of Hitchcock as the movie's third star.
