Sinopsis: A casa de sus familiares, en el tranquilo pueblo de Santa Rosa, llega un día el encantador tío Charlie (Joseph Cotten), un seductor criminal que viaja de Filadelfia a California y al que la justicia va pisando los talones. Su sobrina Charlie, a pesar de que no sabe nada de sus actividades, no tardará en sospechar que su tío es el misterioso asesino de viudas al que la policía anda buscando. (FILMAFFINITY)
El regreso del tío Charlie.Una joven (Teresa Wright) se pone muy contenta cuando se entera de que su tío Charlie va a visitar a su familia. Se trata de un hombre fascinante que incluso le regala un reloj. Paralelamente, un sofisticado asesino se dedica a asesinar viudas millonarias y acapara las páginas de la prensa. La joven comienza a sospechar que su tío pudiera ser el asesino.
Uno de los mejores filmes del maestro del suspense -y también su preferida entre toda su filmografía, según dice él mismo en el libro "El cine según Hitchcock", de François Truffaut-, que consigue una enorme tensión, debido al juego entre los dos protagonistas. El excelente Joseph Cotten (El tercer hombre, Ciudadano Kane) consigue la ambigüedad absoluta; no se sabe si es o no el asesino (DeCine21).
AMG SYNOPSIS: Teresa Wright plays Charlie, a small-town high-schooler who enjoys a symbiotic relationship with her favorite uncle, also named Charlie (Joseph Cotten). When young Charlie "wills" that old Charlie pay a visit to her family, her wish comes true. Uncle Charlie is his usual charming self, but he seems a bit secretive and reserved at times. Too, his manner of speaking is curiously unsettling, especially when he brings up the subject of rich widows, whom he characterizes as "swine." When a pair of detectives (MacDonald Carey and Wallace Ford), posing as magazine writers, arrive in town and begin asking questions about Uncle Charlie, young Charlie's curiosity is aroused. Why, for example, has Uncle Charlie torn an article out of the evening newspaper? Rushing to the library, Young Charlie locates the missing item: the headline screams WHO IS THE MERRY WIDOW MURDERER? As the horrified Charlie reads on, the conclusion is inescapable: her beloved Uncle Charlie is a mass murderer, preying upon wealthy old women. And what happens next? Thornton Wilder, Sally Benson, and Alma Reville (Mrs. Hitchcock) based their screenplay on a story by Gordon McDowell, who in turn was inspired by real-life "Merry Widow Murderer" Earle Leonard Nelson. The casting, from stars to bit players, is impeccable; the best of the batch is Hume Cronyn, making his film debut as a wimpy murder-mystery aficionado. Lensed on location in Santa Rosa, California, The Shadow of a Doubt wasAlfred Hitchcock's favorite film. -- Hal Erickson
AMG REVIEW: One of Hitchcock's best films of the 1940s, Shadow of a Doubt is both a fascinating psychological case study and a scathing portrait of the American middle-class family. The film is often considered one of Hitchcock's darkest, and the director himself reportedly claimed it as his favorite. Cynicism underlies all the proceedings, from young Charlie's "miraculous" summoning of her Uncle Charlie (tantamount to calling up the Angel of Death) to Uncle Charlie's chilling exposition of his view on life, relayed to his niece: "You live in a dream. Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you ripped the fronts off houses you'd find swine? The world's a hell. What does it matter what happens in it?" This is one of Hitchcock's most unsettling films, preoccupied like many other Hitchcock works with good vs. evil, and the capacity for evil that lurks within us all; and it is also one of his most stylized, gorgeously shot by Joseph Valentine. Featuring stellar performances from Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten (as well as Hume Cronyn's comical debut as a dim-witted, self-appointed murder "expert"), Shadow of a Doubt is a memorable experience as both a major Hitchcock film and an enduringly creepy commentary on human nature. -- Rebecca Flint Marx
