Film7.5GerilimGizemCharlie amcanın, akrabalarını ziyaret etmek için sakin Santa Rosa kasabasına gelmesi, Hitckcock'un bu en ilginç ve gerilim dolu yolculuklarından biri olan filminin temelini oluşturur. Joseph Cotton, Philadelphia'dan Kaliforniya'ya ülkenin dört bir yanını dolaşıp, kanundan bir adım önde giden, yakışıklı ve çekici Charles amcayı canlandırıyor. Ama kısa süre içinde, başlangıçta hiçbir şeyin farkında olmayan adaşı, "Kuzen Genç Charlie" (Teresa Wright) amcasının, Neşeli dul katili olduğundan kuşkulanmaya başlayacak ve aralarında ölümcül bir kedi-fare kovalamacısı başlayacaktır. Hitchcock'un kişisel olarak en çok beğendiği filmlerden biri olan Shadow of a Doubt, senaryoyu yazan, Amerikan oyun yazarı Thorton Wilder ile yapılan işbirliğinin sonucunda ortaya çıkmıştır. İki ustanın birlikte yarattığı bu çarpıcı psikolojik gerilim filmi için, Hitchcock kısaca "Cinayet ve şiddeti evlerimize, gerçekten ait oldukları yere geri getirdi." demişti..

Dizi4.6DramCavalcade of America is an anthology drama series that was sponsored by the DuPont Company, although it occasionally presented a musical, such as an adaptation of Show Boat, and condensed biographies of popular composers. It was initially broadcast on radio from 1935 to 1953, and later on television from 1952 to 1957. Originally on CBS, the series pioneered the use of anthology drama for company audio advertising. Cavalcade of America documented historical events using stories of individual courage, initiative and achievement, often with feel-good dramatizations of the human spirit's triumph against all odds. This was consistent with DuPont's overall conservative philosophy and legacy as an American company dating back to 1802. The company's motto, "Maker of better things for better living through chemistry," was read at the beginning of each program, and the dramas emphasized humanitarian progress, particularly improvements in the lives of women, often through technological innovation.

Dizi9.0The Adventures of Tugboat Annie is a 1957 Canadian-filmed television series starring Minerva Urecal as Annie Brennan, the role originated by Marie Dressler in the 1933 screen classic Tugboat Annie. Urecal was the fourth actress to portray Tugboat Annie; the others were Dressler, Marjorie Rambeau in Tugboat Annie Sails Again, and Jane Darwell in Captain Tugboat Annie. Norman Reilly Raine's stories of the salty tugboat captain Annie Brennan, a character based on the life of Thea Foss, first appeared in prose form in the weekly US journal Saturday Evening Post in the late 1920s. She was soon developed into a movie character, depicted in three films, portrayed by a different actress in each. Finally, in 1954, a television series was commissioned by the independent American production company TPA. The pilot took two whole years to complete, at a then-record cost of $129,000. Elsa Lanchester, Jay C. Flippen, and Chill Wills were all in line for major roles at one point or another at this early stage. The series was filmed in Toronto harbor and was first shown in Canada, having attracted ratings good enough to interest American television stations. What had succeeded in Canada proved a disappointment in the United States, where the viewing audiences had presumably become accustomed to greater sophistication than the simplistic humor of this series.
