    Dark suspense thriller
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2012*

For a description of the plot, etc., read other reviews.  Just some thoughts on this classic...Sudden Fear (1952) is Joan Crawford at her best.  The movie is edge-of-your-seat suspenseful with great cinematography.  Darkness and shadows are used to full effect to create a dark tone to the movie.  It's classic film noir.  The movie reminds me of some of Hitchcock's black and white suspense thrillers.  Jack Palance also turns in a great performance as Crawford's husband who has a sinister plot brewing.  Gloria Grahame also does well in her role as "the other woman".  Crawford was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in a leading role and Jack Palance was nominated for his supporting role.  If you want to see Palance in one of his best villainous roles, then see this movie.  There are some great shots of San Francisco throughout the movie and the night scenes are particularly good.  This is definitely one of the best Joan Crawford movies, yet so many people have never even heard of it.A lot of people complain about the DVD print being sub par, both the picture and sound quality.  I think it's nit picking on the part of a lot of people.  It's a 60 + year old movie, so it's not going to have an absolutely crystal clear picture and sound.  Can it be cleaned up?  Maybe, but it's not an absolute certainty.  Some films can be restored and some can't.  We'll leave it up to the experts.

    This film made me a Joan Crawford fan
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2013*

Joan Crawford was an actress a generation before mine, and I knew little about her except for some 1960s films like "I Saw What You Did", or the abysmal "Trog".  When the "Mommie Dearest" Faye Dunaway film portrayal later appeared, it formed an impression of Crawford as an eccentric who abused her adopted children. I held that image for decades and had no interest in her films.Then around 2000, I saw "Sudden Fear" on TCM. I was floored by her talent as an actress. The latter part of this film, after she discovers the plot against her, and especially in the streets after her bad husband tries to run her down, is stunning. The scene of her walking with tears in her eyes tore me apart. I could not get the scene out of my mind. Then I discovered another great film, "Johnny Guitar", then "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane," and even appreciated lower budget films such as "Strait-Jacket". The list goes on and on. Over the past decade, I have concluded that Joan Crawford is my all-time favorite actress. She was a STAR, a movie star of the highest caliber and no modern actor or actress has either the ability or presence that she has on film.I am satisfied with the video and audio portion of the 60 year old film on the DVD. Kino typically presents the best images available and works to improve what they have too. I do think the price for the DVD is way too high, though.

    A Crawford Gem
  

*by B***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2014*

Aptly titled, this gripping film noir thriller was worth every penny with a very interesting clever ending. It is one of Joan Crawford's better films. A very young Jack Palance does a very good job of playing a charming but deceitful actor/suitor (Lester Bain) on the make with murder on his mind. He skillfully woos wealthy playwright Crawford (Myra Hudson) on a long train ride from New York to San Francisco despite being fired from her play at her request. Myra falls hard for Lester, marries him, but accidentally learns from a dictation recording of his treacherous murderous plans plotted with an old mercenary girlfriend played by Gloria Graham. In typical film noir melodramatic fashion, Myra imagines the many different ways the two try to kill her. Though broken-hearted to learn that her love and trust were misplaced, Myra manages to overcome her "sudden fear" of her husband. The dialogue at this point in the film is interesting as she uses her writer's mind to outwit her husband - but she reneges at the last minute. Yet fate has other plans. What's interesting about this movie, in contrast to modern day films, is the twang of conscience which makes these noir films so appealing. This film is a rare gem, definitely worth watching and having in your collection.
