Suspicion has a weak ending, but as a whole I do think it's better than Spellbound. Neither of them are among Hitchcock's best, though.

Spellbound has aged rather poorly so, yeah, I'd rank Suspicion above it, too.

Spellbound, while still a good film, is currently my least favorite Hitchcock film (I've seen 18). Suspicion on the other hand, while not one of my favorites from Hitchcock, is in my opinion a great film. Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine get the win over Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman.

Bergman > Fontaine but Grant > Peck.....Suspicion > Spellbound though Spellbound has a more interesting story that unfortunately goes along too slow. Suspicion is also pretty slow and the first half certainly hasn't aged well and I find it disjointed in comparison to the remainder of the film but it gets the win
