Shadow of a Doubt, 1943





Director: ALFRED HITCHCOCK

Stars: Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotten, Macdonald Carey, Henry Travers





Young Charlie (Teresa Wright) is thrilled when her uncle Charlie (Cotten) comes for a visit. Uncle Charlie has always favored his namesake, and his sister, young Charlie's mother, has always favored Charlie, her much younger brother.

Everyone is talking about a serial killer on the run; a man who gets to know rich women and then strangles them and takes their money. And soon young Charlie's suspicions are roused by the behavior of her beloved Uncle. There might be more to Uncle Charlie than meets the eye.

SPOILER!!!!!This film is absolutely chilling! I mean, imagine finding out a beloved family member is a serial killer! A really nice guy, your favorite Uncle who always brings you presents and cheers up the whole family. And he's actually a psychopath. It's nto actually scary, just very suspenseful. One of my favorites.

NOTE: This was Hitch's favorite of all his films.

CAMEO: Hitch appears in this one, but with his back to the camera playing cards. It's on a train.
