Shadow Of A Doubt Reviews

he hated the whole world

mother and daughter adore family favorite uncle charlie.He`s on the run and needs to hide out and so he makes a surprise visit.Although his sister is unaware of his true character,his niece starts getting curious and then scared.Early U.S. Hitchcock set in small town America.Humour and suspense brilliantly acted by Cotton (of course} and the rest.Excellent movie.

Engrossing Thriller

Shadow of A Doubt was a very wonderful surprise. I?d heard little about it, it certainly didn?t seem to be mentioned in the same breath as some of his more famous works. I can?t imagine why, because it?s utterly engrossing. The characters were all interesting and there was a genuine sense of dread towards the end. A must see Hitchcock thriller! If you liked Rope, Rear Window or Jamaica in I?d recommend you see this.

Alfred Hitchcock at his best.

This is an excellent thriller

which has withstood the test of time

considering when it was made.

Recommended.

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.

Very Good Hithcock

Joseph Cotten is great as a creepy Uncle, and all the usual Hitchcock elements are present. Not as great as Vertigo or Rear Window, but then what is.

Recommended for all Hitchcock fans.

CLASSIC HITCH

If you like hitchcock films then this is a film for you.

Its a black and white film but this only adds suspence to such a great movie. They certainly don't make films like this anymore.

dvd reviewer

well acted. had seen many years ago, but enjoyed trying to solve the crime

The Man from UNCLE.

This was a chilling Hitchcock movie. Joseph Cotten perfectly cast as nice Uncle Charlie, with a chilling undertone, how did he get that ring and why wouldn't he have he's picture taken.

Teresa Wright plays he's favourite niece.

Didn't spot Hitch.

One of Hitchcock's best - An often overlooked Classic

Yep, tie yerself down to yer armchair and prepare for a treat. This is smalltown USA trussed up and gutted, as disturbing in it's own sweet-sweet way as Psycho. Family values peeled away till the monster of the ID begins to leak out.

Perfect casting of the perfect small Californian town and perfect casting of Joseph Cotten - surely he can't be that bad? With Hitchcock, yes, he can! A Hitchcock essential.
