A Great Hitch

One of Hitchcock's finest, and indeed, his favourite, this is a great film, superbly acted by the whole cast, with particular mention to Theresa Wright and Joseph Cotten, as the two Charlies. Cotten had never acted a nasty before, but his performance here is full of malice and menace, right up to the end when he meets his deserved fate. Wright is wonderful as the niece who wants to trust her evil but charismatic uncle at the beginning of the film, but quckly suspects that he's not the wonderful person she thought he was.

I'd recommend watching tha accompanying explanation of the making of the film - it's very informative and interesting, especially if you're a Hitchcock fan.
