The Shadow Of Doubt(1943) - The Movie

After a long time I watched a worthwhile movie. It is an Hitchcock movie.The plot just revolves around two people an uncle and niece who shares the same name(Charlie and Charlotte aka Charlie). The niece has a crush on her uncle. When she felt that her life was too boring she decides to call her uncle. Her uncle pops out suddenly in front of her home and surprises everyone. The entire family was happy about the visit for not so long. The niece identifies some horrific truth about her uncle through newspapers. She finds her uncle to be a serial killer and the investigators are behind him. She did not want her family to be broken on hearing this and so she takes the issue on her hand to sort it out. She is met with an investigator who falls in love with her. Though the investigators was behind two suspects who travels on different direction,this particular investigator was sure about her uncle and persuades her to capture him. Though she denies for the first time she realises the importance sooner and helps him. On the other hand the uncle who comes to know the truth decides to put an end to his niece. At one point when the other suspect gets killed in an accident the uncle feels relieved. But he takes all necessary actions to kill his niece. Everything fails and he becomes frustrated. He decides to leave the town suddenly and niece realises that he is into another plot. During his departure he tries to kill his niece by pushing her from the train and he eventually ends his life. The secrets ends there with him without the family knowing his original background.

The screenplay was interesting and more than that it is a classic piece and I liked it very much. It was interesting to watch the part when the uncle tries to kill his beloved niece. The niece finds difficult to digest that her beloved uncle is a serial killer and the portrayal is awesome. It is better you watch the movie to enjoy it. Any movie buff should watch this movie.
