Yep. I've seen them. Some more than a few times. Psycho, North by Northwest, Rear Window, Vertigo...so many greats. Trying to remember all of the fantastic elements in each of them is impossible. That said, I really don't know how I can write anything worthwhile about Hitchcock. I am just a movie fan and to dissect any of his films is ridiculous any way you try to slice it. "Shadow of a Doubt" is obviously early Hitchcock, but you can already see how skilled he is with all of his shots and man, he knows how to build suspense. I really liked Joseph Cotten in this, but Theresa Wright stood out more than anything else.

Joseph Cotten's performance in this film is absolutely legendary and pulls you completely in.

The cities are full of women, middle-aged widows, husbands, dead, husbands who've spent their lives making fortunes, working and working. And then they die and leave their money to their wives, their silly wives.

Watched Alfred Hitchcock's favorite film on his 119th Birthday.

Always been a favorite of mine, even as the narrative strains the bounds of plausibility at times. It's classic Hitchcock in all the best ways, though, and Teresa Wright is such a charming presence it's easy to overlook any narrative gaps.

There’s a part towards the end where Joseph Cotten gives the coldest look that sent chills down my spine.

Shadow of a Doubt is a classy psychological thriller by the master himself, Alfred Hitchcock. Dark and twisted, with dread throughout.

I loved this film! An uncle who is trying to kill you because you know he’s a serial killer is a surprisingly good plot. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about this film
