_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._ -Charlie Oakle Watched Alfred Hitchcock's favorite film on his 119th Birthday.

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.

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.

Merry Widow Murderer - Hitchcock style!

Shadow Of A Doubt was believed to have been Hitchcock's own favourite movie, the one that he was most proud of as he felt his critics hadn't got any justifiable ammunition to shoot him down with. The film stands out because it doesn't have the tongue in che More
