The Paradine Case, 1947




Director: ALFRED HITCHCOCK

Stars: Gregory Peck, Ann Todd, Charles Laughton






When she is accused of poisoning her blind husband, Mrs. Paradine hires Anthony Keane (Peck), a brilliant and successful lawyer. As he gets to know her, Keane begins to fall in love with her, which doesn't help his relationship with his wife Gay (Todd). Gay can see that her husband has feelings for Mrs. Paradine, and so she hopes that there will be a verdict of not-guilty. Otherwise, she will lose her husband forever.

Keane begins to investigate the Paradine home, and soon finds Mr. Paradine's servant, Andre Latour, to be a very suspicious character. Could Latour have killed his master? The outcome, is- I thought- surprising. This isn't the most pleasant film.

CAMEO: Hitch is leaving a train station, carrying a cello.
