Under Suspicion (1991), trailer

How close can you get to a killer before you’re too close? In Brighton in 1959, disgraced cop turned private detective Tony Aaron works largely on falsifying adulteries for use as evidence in divorce cases. He involves his wife as the fictional co-respondent for painter Carlo Stasio but the pair is shot dead in the hotel room. In charge of the case is Frank, Tony’s ex-partner still on the Brighton force. His most likely suspects are Angeline, Stasio’s mistress who is set to inherit his house and pictures, and Tony himself, parts of whose story don’t seem to add up. “Pic plays like a loving tribute to every film noir in the book. Former TV scripter Moore keeps the dialog taut and the red herrings coming. The production design is polished, exactly catching the story’s setting on the borderline of the more liberated 1960s.” – Variety “It’s an engrossing mystery, snappily written and smartly directed by Moore in a promising debut.” – Time Out “One of those cable-type flicks that somehow manages to transcend its medium and end up more intriguing than you’d expect. Writer/director Simon Moore clearly has an affection for old-fashioned noir material and it shows throughout ’Under Suspicion’. Much of what you’re watching may seem a little familiar, but it’s a throwback-flick that’s done with some panache and style.” - eFilmCritic Reviews
