I think the pivotal scene in the movie is where young Charlie goes to the library and sees the newspaper report. That`s where her suspicions become starker. The movie changes from that point onwards. Great review of a great film.
Hitchcock was a genius. I saw Shadow when I was much younger and it haunted me all my life. Now, thanks to TH-cam I can watch it anytime I want. Thanks for all the info.
He forgot to say that the owners of the house on Macdonald avenue were so pleased they repainted and the crew had to 'muss it up' a little to look lived in.
Someone else mentioned Anthony Hopkins, and I concur, I’ve ALWAYS thought that Hopkins modified his speech pattern and infliction for Silence of the Lambs, after Cotton in the dinner scene when he speaks and looks over at Charlie. Chilling.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It doesn’t get the same acclaim and attention as movies like North By Northwest, Vertigo, Rear Window, or Psycho, but it’s easily up there with his greatest works. Tiomkin’s score is utterly brilliant, too.
just saw it. must be my ignorance of films from that time, but I found it to be ok, at the best. cannot see where all the praize comes from 8l the overacting was dreadful, dialogues stiff. uncle Charlie was the highlight, really hoped it will work for him somehow ... rest of the family (+ the librarian, traffic policeman and especially father´s creepy friend) was annoying to the point I was hoping he would be somehow forced to murder them all, children included. it would work more if the movie was labeled as a comedy any idea which was Hitchcock´s least favourite movie?.. really need to compare them 8l

Just watched it. I can't believe I haven't seen this. I've seen I thought all of his films great picture great acting.
Truly one of Hitch’s best.
The scene in the bar must have inspired Anthony Hopkins because its his Hannibal Lecter.
I remember there being a few good laughs in the movie, on top of everything else. Great movie
Love this movie along with stranger on a train ..
yeah strangers on a train was brilliant
Wonderful classic movie one of my favs. Acting was superb.
Thanks for the video.
Your welcome 🙏
this is a masterpiece
Bottom line Alfred Hitchcock was a Master in his Craft.
This house and the Pollyanna house are literally 1 block away from each other.
Dimitri Tomkin wrote the musical score for many movies, including Friendly Persuasion.
strangers on a train, rear window and dial m for murder was brilliant though

Great video.
Hume Cronyn was in Lifeboat before this. So it wouldn’t be his debut.
No, Lifeboat was made the following year
My favorite too.

Wow I had know idea that Hitchcock was so huge in the 1940's
I KNOW !!
How was he able to create such genius without needing to lie down every ten minutes ?
@@trishbirchard1270 hard to believe people who were born when this film came out are probably old now or dead
I new this
Sally Benson was the author of the New Yorker stories that inspired the movie "Meet Me in St. Louis."

This was a family guy episode, damn that show has great taste honestly
Very good synopsis.
My hero.
This summary not this alfred guy. I just wanted to specify to stop anyone from being mistaken.
I didn’t like it, I thought Cotton was great but I don’t like it
