murder has come home shadow of a doubt movie

The love they share seems less filial and more sexual. Throughout the film, they exhibit a close, nearly explicit relationship. The monotony of her existence can only be broken by the uncle for whom she is named, played by Joseph Cotten. Hitchcock especially liked it: “It was one of those rare occasions where you could combine character with suspense.” Teresa Wright stars as Charlotte Newton, who imagines she lives a half-life in the suburbs, trapped in an average family. Directed in 1943, the movie is set in idyllic Santa Rosa and fraught with tension classic of the director. Shadow of a Doubt is the tale of a young woman and her beloved “Uncle Charlie,” whom she discovers is not as he seems. My favorite film by Hitchcock, however, is lesser known than his more famous works, but I would argue the best of all.

Hitchcock through his vast body of work pulls nerves as taut as the strings on a fiddle, bowing us into fear and exhilaration in classics like Psycho and The Birds. Though I’d never claim to be a film buff, I’ve watched quite a few film noir movies in my time, and no one quite does noir like Alfred Hitchcock, Sam Spade and the Maltese Falcon be damned.
