Review of Shadow of a Doubt (1943) by Jj M — 24 Nov 2011
Compelling viewing of the highest order and a disturbingly convincing performance of a deluded murderer that emanates with defiance and intrigue. The development and interplay between the two Charlies (uncle and niece) can leave one desperately uncomfortable but in hindsight, there was no better way for Hitchcock to play this out and acheive his trademark dosage of taut suspense.
Without any demonstration of physical violent acts (mainly to do with studio restraints and censorship), he managed a truly remarkable feat with this magnificent thriller.
