Young Charlie starts to suspect that the man she once idolized is not what he seems and as her world shatters, she realizes that her life may be in danger. However, upon the arrival of two detectives, one of whom becomes very close to young Charlie, and a series of unusual clues concerning the mysterious ‘Merry Widow Murderer’, her Uncle Charlie’s behavior begins to change. The Newton’s eldest daughter, ‘young Charlie’, decides that things need brightening up and resolves to contact her Uncle Charlie. The Newton family lead a quiet life in the North California town of Santa Rosa. Joan Cusak and William H Macy as her parents.Shadow of a Doubt is a 1943 thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock and written by Thornton Wilder, Sally Benson, and Alma Reville. Tim Robbins as uncle Charlie, can you imagine? Natalie Portman as his niece. Using Thornton Wilder's original script as the Bible, Steven Sodebergh could do scrumptious remake for the new millennium. I've been toying with the thought of a remake, I've been doing this lately, although I hate the idea of remakes of great movies, this one is one of those that in the right hands could have a real impact. I've seen 'Shadow of a Doubt' 3 or 4 times but every time you're forced to take the trip with the same amount of commitment.

Brilliant, because in Joseph Cotten's eyes we find his need for redemption or are we falling in the trap of this master manipulator? We are torn, just like Teresa Wright.

Teresa Wright's eyes tell the whole story from the audience's point of view, even if the audience is one step ahead of her. The scenes between Henry Travers and Hume Cronyn are how I imagine the story meetings between Thornton Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock. Patricia Collinge's performance is so spot on that you're longing for more. The structure is Our Townish, the characters, deliciously rich. Thornton Wilder was Hitchcock's partner in crime this time and it shows. Uncle Charlie's urbanity becomes his most frightening feature.

Joseph Cotten is the perfect charming monster. I mistrusted the uncle thing as a term of endearment ever since.
