Review of Shadow of a Doubt (1943) by Tanya K — 05 Jan 2008
A pioneer to modern day thrillers and, albeit a little lengthy, Shadow of a Doubt astonishingly still holds up well. Aside from the murder mystery, it focuses on a beautiful character study of a relationship going awry between an adoring niece when she suspects her uncle of committing heinous crimes.
Teresa Wright's performance humanizes 'Young Charlie' into someone we can identify with through her heartbreak and deniability. One of Hitchcock's earlier works, this was also his favorite.
