We don’t know exactly why the authorities want him, but the enormous wad of big bills he carries suggests he committed a robbery… or perhaps worse. The film opens with Joseph Cotten on the run from authorities somewhere on the East Coast.
While it doesn’t have the glittering cachet of his other films from the period, such as Rebecca (1940), Suspicion (1941), Lifeboat (1944), and Spellbound (1945), it is nonetheless a significant entry in the noir canon and a great film in its own right. Shadow of a Doubt is reportedly Hitchcock’s personal favorite of all his films.
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock ( Rebecca, Spellbound, Rear Window). Premiered January 12, 1943: SHADOW OF A DOUBT, starring Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotten, and Macdonald Carey.
