Dana and Tom discuss an under-appreciated Alfred Hitchcock classic, Shadow of A Doubt, as they continue their month of Hitchcock starring Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten.

Plot Summary: "Uncle Charlie" Oakley (Joseph Cotton) lives alone in a rooming house. Two men come looking for him so he decides to leave town and go to Santa Rosa, CA to see his sister and her family. "Young Charlie" Newton (Teresa Wright) is named for her uncle and worships him. Two men soon appear at the Newton home, posing as interviewers working on a national survey. Uncle Charlie becomes upset, and berates his sister for opening up her home to strangers. The younger interviewer, Jack Graham, (McDonald Carey) who is interested in Charlie romantically, soon tells her that her uncle is one of two suspects who may be the "Merry Widow Murderer". Young Charlie undertakes her own investigation, but a series of potentially life-ending accidents occur as she races to protect her family.
