For instance, “the wrong man” theme that permeates many of his films suggests – at the very least – that most people have at their core the possibility of a dark side in addition to the good. I didn’t think much of the number two when mentioned because anyone who enjoys Hitchcock movies knows – or has noticed – the importance of two (or duality) as a theme element. The number two came up in regards to the director’s Shadow of a Doubt, his personal favorite and one of mine as well. It was certainly a damn fine choice.I was having a conversation with another classic movie fan who has a particular admiration for Alfred Hitchcock. Whenever Hitchcock was asked in interviews, 'What is your favourite film from your filmography?' His response was "Shadow of a Doubt". It is such a pleasure to watch these film elements unfold because I had fun comparing some scenes from the film with the future films it inspired. Many Thrillers since have been inspired by its modern writing, pacing, and cinematography. This is just one of many parts that make 'Shadow of a Doubt' so brilliant because when all is said and done, this film was a game changer. I'm not exaggerating, this film is home to, quite possibly, the smartest female lead character at the time of its release. It continues to be well understood and enjoyed in both the present and the future because of its smart characters and script. This 'Shadow of a Doubt' is a masterpiece.
