Under Suspicion

A gentle old-fashioned melodrama with songs, slow talk and a quiet air of buried shame and sacrifice.

Overview: A group of Canadian Royal Mounted Police officers arrive home after serving overseas with the Allied Army. After enjoying a birthday banquet for the aged Major Manners amid much singing and revelry, Inspector Turner reveals suspicions about a new recruit, John Smith, whom he knows to be using a pseudonym and whose war record contains something potentially damaging.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, earnest and warm. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, guilt, love, loyalty
