Suspicion
A naive heiress marries a charismatic playboy, only to discover his deadly gambling debts and a string of mysterious deaths that force her to unravel whether she’s being groomed as his next victim.
“In his arms she felt safety...in his absence, haunting dread!”
Synopsis
A sheltered heiress becomes enamored with a charming playboy and runs away with him, only to uncover his gambling addiction and growing debts. As his deceptions escalate and people close to them die under suspicious circumstances, she begins to wonder if her husband's love hides a lethal agenda—and if she might be his next target.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.1× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
