His British films like “The 39 Steps” were the ones that resonated with critics so strongly. It seems strange considering how personal “Vertigo” is, or how around the ’40s and ’50s he was considered one of the greatest directors of all time, but not for the American films he was making at the time. This film starred Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten in a thriller set in the quaint coastal town of Santa Rosa.Īnd it says on the special features of the DVD that “Shadow of a Doubt” was in fact Hitch’s favorite film. He made “Rebecca” under the American studio system, but the cast was British and so was the setting. “Shadow of a Doubt” was his first wholly “American” film. However, this did represent a turning point in Hitch’s already legendary career. And who else can make a movie as good as this one and not have it be in their top 10? To say “Shadow of a Doubt” is one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best films is like saying that “Please Please Me” is one of the Beatles best albums.
