'Shadow of a Doubt' is film done by one of my favorite directors, Alfred Hitchcock. I dedicate this to my brother ( which he most likely won't even read this) because he is the one who got me into Hitchcock.
This has been called Alfred's best work, and I would agree, although I do have a few equally favorites of his. This film was made in 1943.
The reason I love Hitchcock so much is because his stories are so very well written. He can tell such a great story of mystery, murder, and even some comedy without making it gruesome like other films of this nature. I also love old spooky/mystery films and these are right up my alley. They just don't make good spooky/mystery films anymore, now days they are nasty a bloody and poorly written. So if you like your spooky/mystery films bloody then you may laugh at these old Hitchcock films. As for me they are a true gem!
PLOT: Young Charlie Newton not only shares a name with her favorite uncle, but a special bond. At times she feels the charming man is the only one who understands her need to be extraordinary and that she is better than the tiny town she lives in. So, when life is too dull she calls on him to visit. However, upon the arrival of two detectives, one of whom becomes very close to young Charlie, and a series of unusual clues concerning the mysterious 'Merry Widow Murderer', her Uncle Charlie's behavior begins to change. Young Charlie starts to suspect that the man she once idolized is not what he seems and as her world shatters, she realizes that her life may be in danger.RATING:PG
STARS: 5 out of 5!
