When Uncle Charlie went to Santa Rosa, a sleepy small town, to visit his relatives, the "Master of Suspense" took advantage of others to open the prelude to this suspenseful and tense plot. In this Hitchcock-directed thriller, Joseph Cotten's seemingly amiable murderer who has deceived all his loved ones is understated.

Soon after, however, his niece, "Little Charlie" (Teresa Wright) by the same name, begins to suspect that her uncle has a terrible secret from everyone. Then she was finally convinced by the police that this "uncle" was actually the murderer of Merry Widow. As a result, he began to continuously make the girl's nerves tense and almost crazy, making her the next target of the murderer. The murderer planned how to make the girl disappear forever without attracting suspicion and attention from others.

    One of the few films starring Joseph Cotten. His acting skills are actually very unusual, as can be seen from the many times Orsen Welles has cooperated with him. Lovely and smart Teresa Wright. The atmosphere is especially good. Rating: 9 out of 10

    Even if it is not Hitchcock’s best work, it is also the most complex and emotional work that can bring people (actually me) the most emotionally fluctuating works: at first I have a little fantasy about uncles and girls, and then I start to hope for uncles. Not a murderer. Even before his uncle wanted to kill him, he still felt that he might not be a murderer. I hope that both of them can change their minds, and finally found out that these are all illusions... Hitchcock may have filmed a suspense, but it is far more than that. To the suspense, it seduce the desire in your heart.

Shadow of a Doubt quotes

  • Emma Newton: What does he do? Oh, he's just in business, you know, the way men are.

  • Young Charlie: We just sort of go along and nothing happens. We're in a terrible rut. It's been on my mind for months. What's gonna be our future?

    Joseph Newton: Oh, come now, Charlie. Things aren't as bad as that. The bank gave me a raise last January.

    Young Charlie: Money? How can you talk about money when I'm talking about souls? We eat and sleep and that's about all. We don't even have any real conversations. We just talk.
