message: Joan Fontaine won the 1941 Oscar for Best Actress for her role in this film (the only Oscar-winning performance directed by Hitchcock, according to the article on Fontaine).  And Suspicion was nominated for Best Picture, though it didn't win. Seems like these things should be mentioned somewhere.    Not sure what the proper format would be, as I'm just a casual user of wikipedia - should there be a whole section devoted to awards?  Could someone more familiar with the proper format could add this appropriately?  Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.85.139 (talk) 08:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Suicide or suicide/murder?  There is no mention of Johnny's suicidal intention in this article.
Quoting IMDB Suspicion 1941
Gradually, understanding comes over her, and as Johnnie explains, she realizes that he had nothing to do with Beaky's death, and that his fascination with poison is centered on himself. He meant to commit suicide rather than face his insurmoutable debts, and spare his beloved Lina the shame of seeing him in prison.--User:Brenont (talk) 02:22, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm interested that both forms of the name are used in both the movie and the Wikipedia page about the movie.  In the movie, it's "Johnnie" all places except in the telegram he sends to Lina explaining that he can't come to see her, early on in the film.  The telegram is signed "Johnny."
The Wikipedia page uses "Johnnie" except in the last instance (last sentence of the page).  I'm sure that's just a coincidence and in fact, perhaps it's meaningless that it happened in the film as well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liefhebber (talk • contribs) 04:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Johnnie vs. Johnny 

message: The article identifies adultery as a crime. Not to be pedantic, but only in the interest of accuracy, I want to point out that adultery has been decriminalized in most western countries. see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adultery
"In most Western countries, adultery itself is no longer a criminal offense, but may still have legal consequences, particularly in divorce cases."
And although adultery is considered a moral transgression of some seriousness, the unmarried Johnnie could not have been guilty of it, since to be an adulterer you must be a married person.
I think the correct term for Johnnie may be 'philanderer'.

message: I've gone through the scene frame by frame and I do not believe that the man pulling the horse mentioned can be counted as a cameo appearance. From a visual inspection, it is doubtful whether it is Hitchcock and as there is a clear Hitchcock cameo later in the film, this should probably be deleted from this entry.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wswaine (talk • contribs) 12:22, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
