Shadow of a Doubt

USA 1943, 103 minutes, B/W
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Classics, Suspense/Crime

Aroview: Teenager Teresa Wright is thrilled when relative Joseph Cotten comes to stay, then less so, gradually realising Uncle Charlie may be a psychopathic killer. Cherished by Hitch as his best American film, this certainly makes a pithy, typically ironic statement about US smalltown life.

5 stars (Exceptional) Be careful what you wish for...wonderfully macabre with a host of great performances, beautiful cinematography and Uncle Charlie's memorably creepy speech about "Horrible, faded, fat, greedy women". One of Hitchcock's best. ~HiFi

5 stars (Exceptional) Hitchcock's favourite of his films apparently. The extra 'making of' is worth a watch. Stand out performances by Joseph Cotton and Teresa Wright. ~BabyJane
