Film7.5DramFilm dünyasının en etkileyici rollerinden birisinde James Dean'i, şehre yeni gelen, yalnızlık, bunalmışlık ve kızgınlığının içerisinde kendisiyle ve toplumla savaşan, İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası kuşağına ait efsanevi Jim rolünde buluyoruz. Bu başyapıtta ona eşlik eden Natalie Wood (kız arkadaşı) ve Sal Mineo (en yakın arkadaşı), başarılı performanslarıyla Akademi Ödülü'ne aday olmuşlardı. 40 yıldır ayakta duran bu dev yapıt, tam bir efsane.
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..
Film7.7KomediSuçHanri Verdoux işi gereği çok seyahat ediyordu. Onun işi zengin ve yalnız kadınları baştan çıkarıp, kalplerini ve banka cüzdanlarını ele geçirdikten sonra, yeni bir kadına geçmeden önce öldürmekti. Charles Chaplin, alışık olduğumuz o neşeli karakterin dışına çıkarak, sakat karısı ve çocuğuna daha iyi bir hayat sağlamak için cinayetler işleyen bir aile babası ile tersdüz oluyor. Burada ölümsüz Tramp karakteri oldukça az pay sahibi, fakat yine de titiz ve çıtkırıldım tavırları espritüel anlamda eksik olmuyor.
