Wealthy, sheltered Joan Fontaine is swept off her feet by charming ne'er-do-well Cary Grant. Though warned that Grant is little more than a fortune-hunter, Fontaine marries him anyway. She remains loyal to her irresponsible husband as he plows his way from one disreputable business scheme to another. Gradually, Fontaine comes to the conclusion that Grant intends to do away with her in order to collect her inheritance...a suspicion confirmed when Grant's likeable business partner Nigel Bruce dies under mysterious circumstances. To his dying day, Hitchcock insisted that he wanted to retain the novelist Francis Iles' original ending, but that the RKO executives intervened. Fontaine won an Academy Award for her work.

Alfred Hitchcock's real-life wife, Alma Reville co-wrote the screenplay for her husband's latest entry in which he weaves a terrifying web of paranoia. Cary Grant stars as a dashing ne'er-do-well and Joan Fontaine gives another Oscar-winning performance as a fragile, gently-reared young English heiress, who fears that her newlywed husband (Grant) is a murderer, who might be trying to kill her for her vast fortune. Also starring Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Nigel Bruce, Dame May Whitty, Isabel Jeans, Heather Angel, Leo G. Carroll and Reginald Sheffield.
