John Gay recalled: ‘When you look at the original film, 10 minutes into it there isn’t any doubt that Uncle Charlie is the killer. John Gay adds a new opening scene where Uncle Charlie seduces and murders widow Teresa Mathewson (Tippi Hedren). The film was shot in the same town as the original, Santa Rosa, California. It is great though to see Diane Ladd, Shirley Knight and especially Hitchcock’s protégée Tippi Hedren in the lineup.Īlso in the cast are Norm Skaggs, Rick Lenz, William Lanteau, Sydney Walker, Bianca Rose, and Seth Smith. The mood, atmosphere and pace seem all wrong in John Gay’s script and Arthur’s handling.
The 1991 remake is just a shadow of Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt (1943).ĭirector Karen Arthur’s 1991 thriller TV movie remake Shadow of a Doubt stars Mark Harmon, Margaret Welsh, Diane Ladd, Shirley Knight and Tippi Hedren.Īlfred Hitchcock’s favourite of his own films, the 1943 Shadow of a Doubt, is pointlessly and listlessly remade with a miscast and lost Mark Harmon in the lead, much too nice as the creepy favourite Uncle Charlie, while Margaret Welsh is not compelling enough as the young woman, also called Charlie.
Nathalie Kay “Tippi” Hedren (born January 19, 1930).
