Good Old Uncle Charlie
I don’t believe Shadow of a Doubt will rank as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best film. But second rank Hitchcock is better than most people’s best efforts.

Joseph Cotten has come for a visit to Santa Rosa, California to see his sister Patricia Collinge and her family. They welcome him as the prodigal brother. But his very perceptive niece named after him played by Teresa Wright suspects something is wrong with this picture.

Uncle Charlie is suspected of being a serial killer with the monniker of The Merry Widow Killer. He strangles rich old widows and robs them. I guess it’s a living, albeit one with risks.

Those risks are getting to him and on some levels you see Cotten almost wants to be caught. In fact Teresa starts to suspect him over a trivial incident involving her dad’s paper. Cotten goes to great lengths to hide a feature story about The Merry Widow Murders. When she goes to the library to see what was in the paper that he didn’t want the family to see, this is when she starts figuring it out.

Really all Cotten had to do is nothing. But he really did want it to end.

I’m not sure any player ever had such an auspicious beginning in such top rated films as Teresa Wright. In the space of three years she appeared in The Little Foxes, Mrs. Miniver, Pride of the Yankees and now Shadow of a Doubt. She’s a Nancy Drew if Nancy had ever discovered there was a criminal who was a close relative.

Patricia Collinge essentially repeats her role from The Little Foxes. If she’s not quite as daft as Miss Birdie, she’s still kind of operating within her own world. Henry Travers does fine as her husband as does Hume Cronyn as his partner in their own make believe world of crime.

Of course giving a big assist to Ms. Wright’s suspicions is the presence of detectives MacDonald Carey and Wallace Ford. They are a team chasing Cotten as one of two men they think is the Merry Widow Killer.

One thing with this film is that unlike Suspicion, Hitchcock stood firm and did not bow to pressure to exonerate Cotten like he did with Cary Grant in the previous film. Of course Cotten was fairly new to the cinema so he could be cast as a villain. And Hitchcock does what he does best, toy with the audiences emotions. Like Suspicion when a whole lot of things happen to Teresa Wright they can be explained away and there is that red herring of that other suspect across the continent.

Of course the other part of Shadow of a Doubt is how the thing is resolved in regard to Cotten’s family. The ending might be a bit too pat, but still it does tie up the loose ends in the best way for all concerned.
