The Suspect (1944)

"Don't you think that an innocent man might be more tolerant in the cause of justice?"

"No, I don't. I think an innocent man might behave precisely as I have."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you."

"Why don't you arrest me? Here I am."

"I'd like to, believe me, but unfortunately I can't."

"No, you've run against a blank wall. You take my advice and don't beat your head against it."

Siodmak's direction is unflashy for the most part but there's a couple #of beautifully executed setpieces‚ including Ridges' asshat cop staging an impromptu reenactment of the killing and a tense 'hide the body'#moment involving a mischievous kitten (every film is made ten times better by the inclusion of a mischievous kitten)#more of a character piece than a plot driven noir‚ but i think all the better for that; as a psyche study it's in some ways ahead of the #game in this genre. ymmv of course; @bimbobussy was not overly impressed and found Laughton's character to be too #objectionable to be truly sympathetic...

Dwight Frye and Maude Eburne as Aunt Gussie in an original publicity still for The Vampire Bat (1933). Maude was born in Bronte on the Lake, Ontario, Canada, and had 120 acting credits from 1918 to 1951. Her entry among my best 1,001 movies is To Be or Not To Be. This is her third honorable mention, after The Bat Whispers (1930) and You Belong To Me.

Her other notable credits include Blonde Crazy, Ladies They Talk About, Ruggles of Red Gap, Lil Abner (1940 as Granny Scragg), The Strawberry Blonde, Among the Living, Up in Arms, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
