Shadow Of A DoubtPG

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock | USA | 1943 | 1h 48m | Starring Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotten, Macdonald Carey, Henry Travers, Patricia Collinge

A bored teen living in Santa Rosa, California, receives welcome news that her charming Uncle Charlie is coming to visit. But her excitement turns to suspicion as she begins to uncover disturbing secrets about her uncle’s past. Evil lurks in the most unexpected places in Alfred Hitchcock’s (Psycho, Vertigo) suspenseful psychological noir, presenting an unnerving exploration of the dark side of human nature.

Classic Season: 1940s Noir

Reviews

‘No one would ever accuse Alfred Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt of being plausible, but it is framed so distinctively in the Hitchcock style that it plays firmly and never breaks out of the story.’
★★★★★
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

‘Like Lynch’s fever-dream of transcendental perversity Blue Velvet, Shadow of a Doubt is about awakening, the simultaneous darkening and enlarging of the world.’
★★★★★
Fernando Croce, Slant Magazine
