LTP Noir: Shadow of a Doubt (1943) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1943, Alfred Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt" delivered a sinister sucker-punch of a conundrum to naïve North American audiences: What happens when the sleepy, mundane routine of a secure society unwittingly welcomes in maniacal, chaotic forces? Playing on one of Hitchcock's favourite themes, this microcosm of a film has aged exceptionally well. In this episode, Josh breaks down the complex film and considers its legacy.
