Shadow of a Doubt Jaime May 2013
Compared to Alfred Hitchcock's better-known films, Shadow of a Doubt may not claim as much suspense or plot perfection, but as an overall execution of storytelling, it's as effective as it gets.  Hitchcock considered this his best American film, and it is easy to see why.  Shadow of a Doubt is an example of a masterful film-making,...
