This film is overrated in my opinion..
I do like several Hitchcock films..
Strangers on a Train, Psycho, Rear Window, Dial M for Murder, Vertigo, The Birds.
I never cared for North by Northwest and Shadow of a Doubt. NxNW is sort of amusing in a screwball comedy sorta way but Shadow of a Doubt doesn't do a thing for me. I recently rematched it to see if I was missing something. Pretty good direction from Hitchcock. The acting is fine for the most part, but the story drags quite a bit. Even in the last half hour, we do not get much of a pay off. I appreciate the idea but the script was.. well, ok at best. What an I missing with this picture?
