Shadow of a Doubt(1943)
A young girl fears her favorite uncle may be a killer. For more about Shadow of a Doubt and the Shadow of a Doubt Blu-ray release, see the Shadow of a Doubt Blu-ray Review Starring: Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotten, Henry Travers, Patricia Collinge, Macdonald Carey, Wallace Ford Director: Alfred Hitchcock » See full cast & crew Shadow of a Doubt Blu-ray, Video QualityShadow of a Doubt is a bit softer than Saboteur at times, sure. But that only demonstrates Universal's devotion to the film's source elements, Hitchcock's intentions and Joseph Valentine cinematography. Rather than overzealously sharpening the image without any concern for the integrity of the original photography, the restoration team has applied the same deft touch it brought to Saboteur's overhaul, meaning Shadow's presentation is also one of the best in the 15-film set. Gray tones are nothing short of lovely, whites are clean and satisfying, and black levels are rich but forgiving, all thanks to excellent, dare I say impeccable contrast. Detail is terrific too, especially considering the film's age. Most fine textures are intact, edges are wonderfully refined, grain behaves naturally, and noise reduction and other digital techniques have been used cautiously and with the utmost care. Videophiles will definitely spot a few shortcomings -- some minor print damage (that appears more frequently than it does in Saboteur), a few fleeting halos and a hint of noise -- but each instance is fairly negligible and, in most every case, gone before it takes root. Universal has worked many a miracle and left very little room for improvement. Shadow of a Doubt Blu-ray, Audio QualityUniversal's two-channel DTS-HD Master Audio Mono mix doesn't disappoint either, although the process of restoring Shadow of a Doubt's original audio elements seems to have presented quite a few challenges. Voices are generally clean, clear and intelligible, but a few lines of dialogue are thin or hollow. Likewise, Dimitri Tiomkin's score sounds great on the whole but isn't given enough room to breathe. Again, though, it's the source, not the Universal team's restorative efforts or lossless track, that appears to be at fault, even if "fault" suggests a bigger issue that simply doesn't exist. Conversations fare nicely, dinner table chats are exacting, Uncle Charlie's revealing rant is as sharp and unsettling as it should be, and his climactic confrontation with his niece aboard a train tops things off nicely.
