The Unsuspected (1947)


The slightly mindbending title, a negated past participle typically used as an adjective but used with the definite article as a noun, hints at the greater convolutions to come in this noirish 1947 suspense thriller that involves - wait for it - not just a love-triangle but a love-pentagon, a shipwreck, a murder made to look like suicide, the return to life of someone presumed dead, a fake husband gaslighting a fake wife suffering amnesia, a hired hitman, blackmail, and a diabolical plot to commit a string of murders that might be the perfect crime except for the fact it almost leaves everyone but the culprit dead.

★★★☆☆
