But her uncle’s visit isn’t without purpose and Charley soon finds out that he is far from the wonderful man she thinks him to be.
Charley has become bored with her life in her small town and the arrival of her uncle gives her a spark. He hasn’t seen them in years and they receive him with open arms, especially his niece Charley (Teresa Wright) who was named after him. Charlie Oakley (Joseph Cotten) arrives in Santa Rosa to pay a visit to his sister Emma (Patricia Collinge) and her family. “Shadow of a Doubt” was shot and set in Santa Rosa, California, a location picked for its picture of small town America. This 1943 thriller has all of trademarks of a Hitchcock film and one of the strongest stories that he has brought to film. But to miss out on this wonderful early Hitchcock classic would be to miss out on one of his very best movies. But for those who aren’t familiar with the director’s full body of work, “Shadow of a Doubt” is one of his movies that may be easily overlooked. Alfred Hitchcock gets a lot of praise for his classic films such as “Vertigo”, “Psycho”, “Rear Window”, and “The Birds” and rightly so.
