Interesting Note

Rating: 6/10 (24 June 2001)

Barry the hero travels East to save the day. In Shadow of a Doubt, the bad guy played by Joseph Cotton travels West for safety. Even though Barry's character lacks personality, he remains a solid figure in his role of fighting for liberty. The climax at the Statue of Liberty is amazing. Keep an open ear, there's no suspense music playing in the background. For Hitchcock, he didn't need music to set the tone. He was too good for that.
