Suspense is a 1946 film noir directed by Frank Tuttle. The ice-skating-themed movie starred Barry Sullivan and former Olympic skater Belita (Gladys Lyne Jepson-Turner), who would team up again in 1947 for the film, The Gangster. It was also the last film appearance of actor Eugene Pallette. At a cost of 1.1 million dollars, it was considered the most expensive film put out by Monogram Pictures.
The proprietor of an ice-skating revue promotes a peanut-vendor at the show to a management position based on suggestions he made to improve the act of the show's star, who also happens to be the owner's wife. However, he soon begins to notice that his new manager is paying more attention to his wife than he believes is appropriate, and begins to suspect that his new manager has designs not only on his wife but on his business. Meanwhile, someone from the new manager's past shows up with information that could wreck his plans. Written by frankfob2@yahoo.com

The First World War; a British Army platoon are delighted to be assigned to a quiet area of the trenches..front line, but quiet. Their first indication of a problem is when they meet the platoon they're relieving coming the other way...tensed, nervous, delighted to be away, apologetic to the new platoon, and, unusually, having left behind for them their accumulated goodies... but the trench seems fine, there's little activity from the German trenches...and the dug-out is good and deep. But in the dug-out, in the quiet of the night, they hear it...the muffled sounds of digging, from the German miners working far below... Written by Mark Fuller
