Shadow of a Doubt (1943)


Date watched: November 23

Review: Shadow of a Doubt, is without a doubt another classic Hitchcock movie. With top notch performances from Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten. Even better than that were the persona of the characters they portrayed. Charlie was the leader of the family, young and innocent, and very confused. Uncle Charlie is a stylish and menacing sociopath. They were just fun to watch. The movie has some flaws that hurt it some though. The mother of Charlie and brother of Uncle Charlie was quite annoying. Just about every second she was on screen talking was mind numbing. Charlie's father and his friend Herbie Hawkins banter about how they would kill each other was just pure brilliance! And of course a very harrowing climax.

Rating: 8.9/10.0
