Wiki.
Suspense is a 1946 American ice-skating-themed film noir directed by Frank Tuttle and written by Philip Yordan. The film stars Barry Sullivan and former Olympic skater Belita. The supporting cast features Albert Dekker, Bonita Granville, and Eugene Pallette (in his final film role).
Following their unexpected success with Dillinger, Frank and Maurice King convinced Monogram Pictures to back a higher-budgeted film noir picture written by Yordan. The film was promoted as Monogram's "first million-dollar picture."
Suspense was released by Monogram Pictures on June 15, 1946. Although it received mixed reviews from critics, it was considered a box office success. The Kings reunited Sullivan and Belita the following year in The Gangster which was less successful.
