Creo que es una película normal, es decir, te mantiene más o menos interesado en la trama. No tienes claro quién fue el que hizo lo sucedido y, obviamente, te va dando pistas desde el principio, pero en esta ocasión es muchísimo más sencillo darse cuenta de quién es desde el principio. Y eso no sería malo si tuviera alguna escena o final diferente, pero a partir de ahí todo es bastante predecible. En algunos momentos parece que te hacen dudar, pero no es un sentimiento tan fuerte, sino una ligera sospecha, e incluso el final, creo que es de los peores finales del director realmente, algo que, a mi parecer, empieza a ser problemático. Aun a día de hoy no encuentro una película del director que vaya más allá, todo se queda en algo seguro; aun así, la película está bien.

Hitchcock, in one of his first productions that he would make in Hollywood. Its hallmark remained in force and this thriller is one of those examples. The suspense keeps the viewer upside down through out the 108 minutes.

This is a slow burner of a film - the plot development gets quite good towards the end. there is a certain plausability about it, which is a little spooky I suppose. Its a typical film noir film, with frustratingly over the top incidental music at times but I liked the character development and as a Hitchcock film, it's not bad, particularly with the plot twists but its not entirely gripping I suppose. It's not a bad film and so I'd recommend it, yes.

'Shadow of a Doubt' is a masterpiece. It continues to be well understood and enjoyed in both the present and the future because of its smart characters and script. I'm not exaggerating, this film is home to, quite possibly, the smartest female lead character at the time of its release. This is just one of many parts that make 'Shadow of a Doubt' so brilliant because when all is said and done, this film was a game changer. Many Thrillers since have been inspired by its modern writing, pacing, and cinematography. It is such a pleasure to watch these film elements unfold because I had fun comparing some scenes from the film with the future films it inspired. Whenever Hitchcock was asked in interviews, 'What is your favourite film from your filmography?' His response was "Shadow of a Doubt". It was certainly a damn fine choice.

I never noticed until the last viewing how close the uncle and niece are, he puts a ring on her wedding finger, opposite hand.

Really unrated, maybe one of its best works. A true thriller, a beautiful movie.
