shadow of a doubt

 
Joseph Cotten in Shadow Of A Doubt    1943

Recently I have been re-watching Shadow Of A Doubt, an Alfred Hitchcock-directed film.  It was the third movie he made after moving to America from England, with his wife Alma and tiny daughter Patricia.

They moved to America because Hollywood was the location of the most comprehensive movie business.

At first Hitchcock worked with David O. Selznick (producer of Gone With The Wind) but they couldn't really stand working together.

        Shadow Of A Doubt is a movie with quirks and unexpected hints and clues.  And moments that might seem a little like clues, but they might just be quirks.

It's mysterious.

        I go back and watch again, and also listen to some videos and podcasts on You Tube where people talk about the movie.

It was filmed in Santa Rosa, California - which was a small town back then.
