The Films of Alfred Hitchcock: Shadow of a Doubt

BBC One
on BBC One London

A selection of feature films directed by the master of suspense
starring Joseph Cotten, Teresa Wright, MacDonald Carey
with Patricia Collinge, Henry Travers, Hume Cronyn

A young girl realises that her favourite uncle may be a dangerous fugitive...
Tonight's movie was regarded by contemporary critics as Hitchcock's best thriller since his departure from Britain in 1939. It was even compared with Orson Welles's Citizen Kane. Both films contain superb performances from Joseph Cotten, and both employ naturalistic dialogue and have overlapping unrelated conversations going on between several people at once.
