Interesting facts

Shadow of a Doubt is a 1991 American psychological thriller television film directed by Karen Arthur. A remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 film, John Gay's teleplay, based on the screenplay by Thornton Wilder, Sally Benson and Alma Reville, follows a young woman who gradually discovers that her beloved uncle is in fact a serial murderer. It aired on CBS on April 28, 1991, as an episode of the Hallmark Hall of Fame series.

Production

The film was shot in Santa Rosa, California and the nearby city Petaluma, the same setting as the original. Writer John Gay added a new opening scene where Uncle Charlie seduces and murders widow Terese Mathewson. "When you look at the original film, 10 minutes into it there isn't any doubt that Uncle Charlie is the killer," said Gay.
