His biggest admirer is his niece Young Charlie (Teresa Wright) who begins to suspect that something isn't quite right with her mysterious relative, when two FBI men appear and begin asking questions. The suspense slowly mounts as she begins to realize she must release her Uncle from her what she thought he was, in order to see what he might actually be and that could be murder.

Joseph Cotton is such a good, solid actor. He cld do it all. Teresa Wright is a delight. The entire cast is tops!
As a fellow tired old queen, I have to say that Steve Hayes never disappoints me. SHADOW OF A DOUBT was Hitchcock's own personal favorite of his films, and it's pretty close to the top of my list, too. No Englishman ever depicted a typical American family as well as Hitch did here. And throw in the thrills and chills and you have a whopper of a suspense thriller!
Thank you for your kind assessment! I so apprecaite it!
I always thought it was an allegory about America's loss of innocence in the war seen through Charlie's own loss of innocence. Definitely Hitch's finest.
The myth of American innocence.
finally! you finally did my all time favorite hitchcock movie! i've watched this so many times! in my humble opinion, teresa wright was never better than in this...just check out that scene with her and joseph cotten in the bar/restaurant when she realizes she's looking pure pure evil straight in the face.....incredible. love this movie so much! thank you for mentioning it.
I love it too. It's so subtle in the way the horror slowly creeps up on her, breaking her denial. Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
No wonder it was Hitchcock's favourite - it's perfect. Bette Davies screamed the house down when Joseph Cotton was cast as the husband she wants to leave in "Beyond the Forest" - "WHO wants to leave Joseph Cotton!!". Hadn't she seen him in this: so handsome, so charming and sophisticated, and with the slightest change of expression, so completely evil. It's a brilliant, subtle performance. And he comes into this sweet, trusting family, to a sister who adores him, a niece who loves him, and people so untouched by real murder that the father and a neighbour play a game about it because nothing like that will ever really happen anywhere near them. Theresa Wright is wonderful in this; goodness, intelligence, growing fear - all her emotions are visible, but only to us, the audience. And to her uncle. Perfection.
This is a perfect film. Form the location, to the casting, the screenplay and of course the brillinat mounting suspense in the direction I think Cotton has been grossly underrated over the years. He was intigral to so many films. Always solid. Steve
This movie may bring us nightmares, Mr. Hayes, but you bring us enlightenment and -- ... LAUGHS!😅🤩 (THANK YOU!)
One of my favorites; the acting ! The plot . Joseph Cotton is buried about 4 miles away. His family owned a hardware store and were lovely people.
I love him in this. Next time you visit his headstone, give him my regards. Thanks for watching! Steve
Saw this before I was old enough to appreciate it but I didn't forget "Shadow of a Doubt"! Steve, your review made me think of a time long ago when I was ice-skating by myself and a man stopped his car to talk to me. Someone who lived not far from me then was John Gacy the serial killer.
Well, THAT sent shivers down my spine! OMG! Thank God, you didn't get into the car with him. That case still frightens/haunts/ disturbs me. Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
Steve's passion for movies always puts a smile on my face. thank you!
Steeeeve! I'm so glad that you're back. I saw this movie when I was a teen and it scared the pants off of me. Joseph Cotten was absolutely menacing as a nice/nasty guy. It was the first time I ever paid attention to Teresa Wright. She was fabulous in this.
She was incandescent. Cotton was perfection, the nicest guy in the world who happens to be a serial killer.
One of my favorite Hitchcock films, and Joseph Cotten was gorgeous and so talented. Hume Cronyn and Henry Travers are hilarious in this. Thanks for the review, Steve! For anyone who's interested, Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright played husband and wife in the excellent film "The Steel Trap." Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for that recommendation. I've never seen that! Cotton was stellar in so many films. Teresa Wright was the queen of sensitivity/honesty.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Oh man, The Steel Trap is great, and the pair are believable as husband and wife. Cotten was often underrated and to add to your assessment of Ms. Wright she most certainly is the moral backbone in the film. It's quite suspenseful. I have it on DVD and play it a few times a year.
What a great film, and the casting is perfection! Thank you Steve for another insightful and humorous examination of this masterpiece.
Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
Great to see you back, Steve and Johnny! Excellent choice of film too! I don't have this on DVD yet but I plan to get it soon. Very foreboding, in a very subtle way. I guess that could be why Hitch liked it so much. Small town menace, and Joesph Cotten was magnificent as Uncle Charlie. Teresa Wright I've always liked as well. The Merry Widow murderer! Evil in the family = chills down my spine.
yes. A killer comes to town. Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
I love this movie so much! It puts murder and twisted sexuality where it belongs: in the home.
Hicth thought so.
Mr. Days of Our Lives patriarch , Macdonald Carey, played the love interest here for Teresa Wright. I loved soaps before I immersed myself in old movies. Judith Anderson and Virginia Mayo were on Santa Barbara. Joan Bennett, who actually screen-tested and was considered for the role of Scarlett O'Hara, ended up on Dark Shadows. Teresa Wright played a woman in cognitive decline on Guiding Light. Really admire the resilience and resourcefulness of these actors who did not have steady jobs with benefits and a pension!
Thanks, Steve, for another great video.
Thanks so much! I remember seeing Joan Crawford on " The Guidling Light"...of course I was a mere child at the time....Uh-huh.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Did not know that! I'm sure you were just a toddler keeping your grandmother company. 😉
So nice to see you both. Thanks for another great time and review. I never get tired of the tired old queen at the movies.
Do you believe that Joseph Cotten never got an AA nomination? Well, what do you expect in a world that acclaims Charlton Heston and too many other non-entities?
Also Myrna Loy and Ed. G. Robinson!!! You get the drift, don'tcha...
That is unbelievable that Cotton was never nominated. I didn't know that.
He should have been nominated for this, that's for sure! Dana Andrwes too. He should have had the Oscar they gave to that ham Frederic March in "The Best Years Of Our LIves". But...that's the Academy for you!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I thought March was great in "Best Years," but you're right about Dana Andrews. There was an epic quality about his acting in that film, especiually with the look he give you when he's alone in the cockpit of the disabled plane down to his last kiss of Teresa Wright in the lalst scene of the film. I think of the "homecoming" scene of March and Myrna Loy and the tears you cn actually seein the dark on Harold Russe's face after Cathy O'Donnell tucks him in and I think "The Best Years of Our Lives has to be one of the ten best films of all times.
@@williamsnyder5616 Agreed.
My goodness I love tired old queens lol You are a pleasure to watch, Steve. Wonderful review !!! :o)
Thank you for saying so. Much appreciated!
Ashamedto say i had,nt watched by this film until my wife stumbled on it one rainy afternoon. Its superb!
Rainy days were made for Hitchcock!
SO happy to have you back with us! It's just like a beloved family member who has
returned that everybody loves.
OMG! What a charming thing to say,Bob! Many thanks!
Henry Travers was such a good actor. From the Dr in Dark Victory to this, he is completely believeable.
And as the bashful town bellringer/gardner in " Mrs Miniver" and as Clarence, the angel earning his wings in " It's A Wonderful Life". Always warm & wonderful.
I love your reviews SO much! I am on a Joseph Cotten kick currently (last night was Niagara) and am re-watching Shadow of a Doubt as I type this, but had to stop the movie and come search if you’ve done a review! And I’m so excited to watch after your review! You’re the best I appreciate you both so much!!
Two that I higlky recommend are " Love Letters" & " Portrait Of Jenny" both w/ Jennifer Jones, " Since You Went Away" w/ Claudette Colbert, " Gaslight" w/ Ingrid Bergman and "Citizen Kane" & "The Magnificent Ambersons" both directed by Orson Wells, who was respionsible for taking Cotton to Hollywood. Enjoy and thanks for watching! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ thank you! I did read something about how Welles commented on Cotten’s curly hair, as a positive asset to be a star.
Thanks for the recommendations I love Gaslight, think I’ll watch it tonight ;)
Really the best Hitchcock movie--others are amazing--Rebecca, North By Northwest, Notorious--but this movie probes the darkness of life that can live right below an ordinary, everyday surface. Brilliant. Great review--Teresa Wright had a kind of luminousness and grace--here and in Best Years of Our Lives and Mrs. Miniver.
She was lovely and smart despite her seeming innocence. Hitchcok's favorite and for good reason. Don't look now, but there's a serial killer at the family dinner. Yikes! Thanks for watching. .
Nice to have you back, Steve! Love your videos, and love this movie!
YAY, ur back -- life is good again!!! This was one of my favs as a kid. Skeered me so much. Please don't go away for so long.
Welcome back Steve and Johnny! Missed you both so much! And I love "Shadow of a Doubt"!
From a fan in the Philippines, Im so happy you're both back! Welcome back Steve and Johnny!!
I'm thrilled to have a fan in the Phillipines! Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
You're back! And talking about one of my favorite Hitchcock films! Is it my birthday? :-)
It's good to you back Steve! This is my second favorite Hitchcock film after Notorious. I've been the the train station in Santa Rosa many times and Shadow of A Doubt always come to mind. Great film!
I can imagine. Wow!
Oh my god, I thought you'd never come back. Wonderful!
I missed you guys. Another great movie review. It's been ages since I've seen this Hitchcock film.
I love it too. It's always a terrific one to re-vsisit.Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
Welcome back......missed you......great review!!
A superb film. I have often wondered what would happen to my daughter IF this was our family and her Uncle Joe was the Merry Widow murderer, the shock of loving someone and them being the opposite of what you believe is scary
That's why they get away with it. No one can ever believe they are what they are.
Yay!!! I missed you guys soooooo much! I am smiling so widely!! xxx
Hooray! I love to make you smile! Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
So very glad you're back! And what a wonderful choice to return with, a fantastic film. Wish I still lived up east so I could come see you live! Don't forget BACK STREET some time.
I did "Back Street" for my tenth anniversary episode. Check it out on CZcams.
To me, this was Cotten's best. He is so ingratiating as Charles, that he makes the audience absolute hate little niece 'Charlie' for ratting him out. Of course, I never liked Theresa Wright anyway. But this truly is Cotten's best work.
I agree. He's menacing and mesmerizing!
I thought I had seen every Hitchcock movie (Frenzy is my fave) thanks Steve!
Well, youb better catch this one. Thanks so much for watching! Please take a moment and push the "LIKE" button. It really helps!.
You were really missed - many thanks for this great review!
My pleasure!
It's good to see you back too Johnny!
Love the analysis
Thank you so much!
Welcome back, Steve & Johnny!
Great pick as always.
I love this movie. Joseph Cotton is about as creepy as any villain. Teresa Wright’s voyage of discovery is great.
Steve, thanks for your great reviews.
Have you done Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?
Not yet. It's on my "to do" list. Thanks for watching! Steve

Would love to watch this movie seated between you and Johnny!
These videos bring me life 🥰
Your lovely comment and watching TOQ does the same for me!!! Many thanks! Best; Steve
Love this movie! One fo my faves.
Psycho had the shock value but the subtlety and tension makes this a much better movie. Loved it and the suspense was almost unbearable.
Absolutely!
This is my favorite Hitchcock film
It was his as well. Enjoy! Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
Firstly I love Joseph Cotton
Second I finally saw this movie on TCM and loved it!
Thank you Steve
Sincerely JeremywithaZ
I'm thrilled you liked it and hope you keep watching!
Well, young man, I see that taking some time off from reviewing hasn't hurt your appetite for a great movie!!! I'll be with you in spirit at your Tired Old Queen at the Movies LIve! event. I know it will be boffo and filled with laughs. Thanks for spotlighting this great Hitchcock movie and for your nod to the lambent Patricia Collinge (did you know that she was the original Pollyanna?). Love ya & missed ya, Steve and Johnny.
Cheers,
Moira
P.S. Your hair is beautiful! Sun-kissed, no doubt? ;)
Thanks so much! I adore Patricia Collinge. In this and "little Foxes" she's unforgettable! Thanks for the lovely compliments.
Great film, great cast... ❤❤❤❤
think so too. In the Hitchcock tradition of perfect casting.
steve glad to have you back, us merrie widows missed you, great movie this time my favorite next to psycho, which you should review and you should also review anouther favorite of mine "trick" i can't imagine why.
Oh, thank you! I reviewed both a shor time after this and you can seem my reviews on YouTUbe.
Steve: you look sharp in stripes!
Why, thank you , Sir!
I love your reviews!
Shadow of a Doubt, scary without gore.
Yup. Hitchcok seldom, if eve,r relied on gore.
So true! The real evil in this world lurks in the human mind.
OH Steve, thank you for reviewing this classic. M [SA
Hitchcock always said his villians were his heros. The better the villian , the better the picture. In this case, it was never more apparant.
Hitchcock at the top of his game
Great ending
SOAD is my third fave, after The Birds (#1) and N by NW (#2).
you are the best steve
Thanks, buddy! Muuch Apprecaited! Steve
I LOOOOVE this film so much. But did anyone feel the romance between Young Charlie and the detective was a little rushed? I have a feeling footage was left on the floor. I wonder if Thorton's original screenplay develops that relationship more?
I dunno. I like his character though. He's appealing but not movie star handsome. He's the type of guy you hope she endfs up with. I hope she doesn't get attracted to psychos the rest of her life.
Steve, "TOQ" you are just too much! You're such a "drama queen" lol love your ch and video's. Thanks!

I have always had a big crush on Teresa Wright. Every part that she played she was intelligent yet at the same time had a feminine whimsy that I found very seductive.
michaelterry1000 Might I recommend a great film for you? It also stars Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten, this time as husband and wife. A very suspenseful movie called "The Steel Trap" from 1952. I think you will like it. Cheers!
I loved her too!
@@rem2267 I just saw this clip (1 year later). Thanks. I just saw a 3 minute clip on youtube. I really will try to find a copy of this film. Thanks.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I fell in love with her when I saw her performance in Best Years of Our Lives. She still had the charm in the 1980 Christopher Reeve film, Somewhere in Time
@@michaelterry1000 You are very welcome, Michael. It's a hidden gem.
This movie was great.
It's one of his best and his personal favorite.

If everything had gone according to young Charlie's plan and her uncle left on the train with 'merry widow' Potter, there would be more dead widows and young Charlie would be complicit in their deaths. I have not seen this aspect ever discussed in depth but it is rather shocking if you think about it! Methinks young Charlie might have been a little won over by Uncle's dinner table talk about
the 'fat wheezing pigs' stinking of money!
Interesting. Hitch always left room for discoveries and interpretations. I think that's what sets him apart, there are always some things that remain open ended and therefore open for discussion. Fascinating. Thanks for this and, as always, for watching! Steve
PUT THIS MOVIE ON....DOUBLE BACK THE TITLE
Oh, so now you Crack me up with a scary story! You devil!
Gotta' keep you on your toes, Steverino! OXOXO
Joseph Cotton was so creepy,great movie.
He was perfect.
I love Teresa Wright. Loved her in the pride of the yankees. Tangled foot.
Tangled Foot, eh? Are you callin' me a pet name? LOL! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ lol.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I love the pride of the yankees. So sad how lou gehrig a great athlete die of a disease. Also I lost a grandfather to ALS.
@@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821God Bless. I'm so sorry. It's dreadfull dsease. I lost a dear friend of mine in January to it. Let's hope and pray they make advancements in treating and curing it as soon as possible. Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ ty and same to that they will find better medicine. When my grandfather was diagnosed he went fast it took him quickly.
oh man, Johnny looks like a baby!
Another chilling movie I saw as a kid sticks with me... I can’t remember the name of the film, but I remember the villain.... (was it Richard Widmark?)....pushing a wheel chair bound woman down some stairs! I think it was his mother! Have you done that one? It was an old movie even when I was a kid.
the movie is "Kiss Of Death" ('47). He was nominated for it. Amazing and ugky! Thanks for watchhing and please subscribe if you haven't already. Best, Steve
