![]() As with many of Hitchcock’s films of the 1940s, it tends to be constructed around its set-pieces. Shadow of a Doubt, made during this time, is often considered one of Hitchcock’s best, although in this author’s opinion is not quite up there with the classics. Hitchcock’s name found its stride around the time of The 39 Steps (1935) and kept going until it peaked with Psycho (1960) – a twenty-year period that was an extraordinary career high. Hume Cronyn was very young to play the best friend of such an old man, he was 37 years younger than Henry Travers.Īlthough Emma was supposed to be the older sister of Uncle Charlie, I think that the agegap was supposed to be smaller than 13 years.Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) is considered one of the great directors of the Twentieth Century. But maybe Jack Graham was supposed to be older, considering his advanced position within the Police (or FBI). Although her character Little Charlie was supposed to be only 18, the agegap is not so extreme, it just looks so because he looks so old. Macdonald Carey certainly looks much older than he was, just five years older than Teresa Wright. Maybe she was about to become an old spinster, perhaps taking care of sick mother or so (notice that there are no grandparents appearing in the movie) but finally succeeded to find a husband, albeit one much older than her. Contrary to what was written in another thread, she probably didn't get married very young, since her oldest child is supposed to be only 18. Patricia Collinge was perhaps also a bit too old to play the mother, but this was in no way extreme. My comments: Henry Travers was way too old to play the father of so young children (Incidentally, he had the same life span as Winston Churchill, 1874-1965, and he was English too!). ![]() ![]() 1898, age 44Īnn Newton - Edna May Wonacott, b. 1911, age 31įred Saunders - Wallace Ford, b. ![]() 1874, age 68Įmma Newton - Patricia Collinge, b. The movie is dated to 1943, but I will assume that it was recorded in the year before (which I think is standard), that is, 1942. Well, let's take a look at the ages of the actors when the movie was recorded. ![]()
