     Shadow of a Doubt
1943  NR  SUSPENSE  1h 48min
CAST— Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotton, Macdonald Carey, Patricia Collinge, Henry Travers, Wallace Ford, Hume Cronyn
MUSIC— Dimitri Tiomkin  DIRECTOR— Alfred Hitchcock

     Another fine tale from the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Who inspires you? Your father? Your mother? Your murderous uncle who is wanted by the feds nationwide? To young Charlie the answer would be the latter. When her uncle Charles (after whom she was named) comes for a visit, everything is swell. But when his dark secrets begin to unravel, young Charlie’s inspiration soon becomes her worst nightmare. Packed full of drama and suspense, this one sure is a keeper. Final note: check out Hume Cronyn as a morbidly hilarious literary critic. Wouldn’t you love to have him over for a night of joyous conversation? Deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry.
OUR RATING— ***
REMADE AS— Step Down to Terror (1958), Shadow of a Doubt (1991)
