Destroy Hitchcock one by one

Hitchcock's films are always so fun, so I always have a heart, and I will put them down when I see them, especially the one that seems to be less well-known, that is, except for "Psychopath", "Vertigo", "Northwest" North", "Rear Window"... Seeing that this movie is on the Imdb top250 list, not to mention the reputation of Mr. Hitchcock, it can basically rule out the possibility of wasting time.
The male protagonist Uncle Charlie is the writer in "The Third Man", and the female protagonist Charlie is the daughter in Best Years Of Our Lives. Teresa Wright should be a girl, why does she always show a virtuous and virtuous young woman or aunt style, is it because of her hairstyle?
In fact, compared with other Historian films, there is not much to say about the plot. Father and friend are obsessed with murder, and it's dark and humorous to discuss how to kill each other all day long. The montage at the beginning of the film is very interesting, making people curious and want to watch it. The interspersed waltz scene is also quite ingenious, but I still hope that the process of how Uncle became a serial killer can be explained more clearly.
But what I like very much is the costumes in Shadow of a Doubt, retro and retro. Men's hats and double-breasted suits; women's dresses have a slender waist, and the skirt is long to the calf, but it is not old-fashioned, only ladylike and elegant, and retro shoes with thick heels, which should be stable to wear. Bar? Not to mention that when Charlie went to bed and took off her nightgown, the nightgown she was wearing was actually made of shiny silk, a shirt with puff sleeves and a belt on the upper body, and pajama pants of the same material on the lower body. Luxury~
Next, kill Rope and The Lady Vanishes

    It's a slightly darker one, the waltz soundtrack is not named, and the ending is a bit rushed. It is said that a fugitive is at home, and a love scene is arranged in the back part of the suspense.

    A master at the use of shadows, Hitchcock's films are far more attractive in form than in content.

Shadow of a Doubt quotes

  • Young Charlie: He thought the world was a horrible place. He couldn't have been very happy, ever. He didn't trust people. Seemed to hate them. He hated the whole world. You know, he said people like us had no idea what the world was really like.

  • Uncle Charlie: I can't face the world in the morning. I must have coffee before I can speak.
