3/17/2024 0 Comments Movies like shadow of a doubtHow and why would police follow a suspect from New York to California if they don’t know what he looks like? Why would they suspect Uncle Charlie if they don’t know what the killer looks like? When the detectives arrive in Santa Rosa, why do they wait outside the Newton’s house for weeks and why do they use the cover of taking photographs of Americans’ bed rooms? What family would believe that? Since the plot revolves around Young Charlie’s suspicion of Uncle Charlie and his cloddish attempts to murder her, which for some reason doesn’t heighten the suspicion of the detectives surveilling, this creates an air of absurdity uncertainty that taints the seemingly perfect Santa Rosa. As in the 39 Steps and most of his other movies, the plot of Shadow of a Doubt takes a backseat to the story, ideas and themes Hitchcock is trying to convey. Released in 1943, Shadow of a Doubt explores qualms of the American family institutions through the eyes of Young Charlie.
