Broad, PhD ABOUT THE FILM Shadow of a Doubt A California town's quiet is upended when Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten) arrives for a visit, and his favorite niece (Teresa Wright), also named Charlie, begins to suspect he's not the charming gentleman he seems. Allegedly Hitchcock's personal favorite among his own films, and his first set in an everyday American small town, Shadow of a Doubt subverts the idealized wartime image of the U.S. with a grinning menace. Who but Cotten, shifting with eerie ease from affable guest to something more serpentine, could deliver the film's infamous dinner-table monologue? A turning point in Hitchcock's career, the film essentially pioneered the domestic noir, the trope of the serial killer next door, and marked a bold shift toward the intimate, psychologically driven suspense that would define his later masterpieces. -Film at Lincoln Center   Alfred Hitchcock | 1943 | In English | 108 minutes | NR | DCP   [embed]https://youtu.be/NliCaD7PUVo[/embed]
