Shadow of a Doubt (1943) has often been seen as director/producer Alfred Hitchcock's best American film (and second film with Universal Studios) - and it was purportedly his own personal favorite. Summary: A young woman discovers her visiting uncle may not be the man he seems to be. He was recognized for his twist endings and signature themes of innocent men on the run. He became known as 'The Master of Suspense' for the taut thrillers and stories of suspense that he directed from the 1940s to the 1960s.

He left England for Hollywood in 1939, where his first American film Rebecca (1940) won an Academy Award for Best Picture.
