Nearly but not quite.

Not sure if the idea of the morally ambiguous other half movie was new at the time, but certainly it's been done plenty of times since... and better.

As with Monolith's comment, the ending is a bit contrived and hokey, but the real problem is Cary Grant.. I don't blame him or his acting, it's just the character he was asked to play, and evidently, how he was asked to play it (obviously, in order to make the whole premise of the story work at all) - Charming yet obnoxious... And I don't buy the forced way he does the obnoxious bit, as it feels unrealistic for someone to behave this way, especially towards the maid - very over-deliberate, and on the nose. Feels clunky and untrue.

But really, he is only the support, and his character the essential plot device to enable the titular "Suspicion" to be played out excellently by Joan Fontaine.

I saw that Tarantino loves the end shot, for it's ambiguity, and I agree, but get the feeling that's more likely what Hitchcock's initial inspiration was for this whole film - what he initially saw in his mind, then built the rest of the movie around, and towards that.

Doesn't quite get there for me.

 Really unsatisfactory ending.
Apparently Grant had it changed cos he didn't like the ending that was planned, so it was changed last minute.
Unfortunately it looks rushed and doesn't tie in with what went before.
