This scene from The First Wives Club illustrates that suspense enriches ANY genre, including comedy. Great suspense is created here as Brenda, Annie and Elise try to escape Brenda’s ex-husband Morty’s apartment (after spying on him). The phony interior decorator, Duarto, tries to distract Morty and his girlfriend Shelly as the three ladies take a window washer’s gondola down the side of the building.

Suspense can be funny!
