Hitchcock: The Perfect Crime
(NR) USA – 1 hr 39 min
1941 · d. Alfred Hitchcock
Starring Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine
A naive heiress (Joan Fontaine) falls hard for dashing playboy Johnnie Aysgarth (Cary Grant), but there’s something sinister about her new beau. Is he only after her inheritance? Just how far would he go to claim it for himself? Layering charm and menace, Cary Grant’s first performance for Hitchcock stands among the best of his career.
