Hitch's own personal favorite has Joseph Cotten as mysterious Uncle
Charlie who comes to stay with his favorite niece, also named Charlie
(Teresa Wright), after a string of murders has been committed. The idea
of terror invading a small town seems quaint today, but the suspense
builds effortlessly throughout. Playwright Thornton Wilder (Our Town)
co-wrote the screenplay and receives a heartfelt thanks in the
credits.
