Just finished watching Hitchcock's Shadow Of A Doubt on BBC2. I hadn't seen the movie for a while but thoroughly enjoyed it. Arguably Joseph Cotten's finest performance.
One of the only three Hitchcock films I really like. It especially helps that Joseph Cotten is in it. I didn't know it was on TV, though. Hope it'll appear on iPlayer. Thanks for the heads up.
Just finished watching that myself. I thought Teresa Wright as Young Charlie was extremely good as well. I notice she was also in The Best Years of Our Lives a few years later.
A superb film. It's sort of often overlooked in Hitchcock's canon of work. Joseph Cotten is amazing as Uncle Charlie. It's great how it takes a look at small town suburbia in the US and twists it.
Considering that Citizen Kane was his movie debut his performance was so assured. He was one of those actors that seemed fully formed right from the start. A bit like Sydney Greenstreet.
Interesting to read that it was Hitchcock's personal favourite of all of his films.
Frenzy, one of my own favourite Hitchcock's is on BBC2 at 12.am tonight.
I haven't seen Frenzy since it was released in 1972, interesting cast including Jon Finch, Barry Foster and the late Billie Whitelaw. I can't say that it was one of my favourite Hitchcock movies but I will record tonight and give it another chance.

Probably, but that being said, he had other memorable performance - Citizen Kane, Shadow of a Doubt, etc.
