Overlooked Hitchcock: I Confess (1953)

  • サマリー

  • Here we go…it’s our first episode!


    Sure, Jeremy’s seen the big Hitchcock movies like REAR WINDOW and VERTIGO, and he even has a couple of black and white favorites (SHADOW OF A DOUBT and STRANGERS ON A TRAIN). But what will he make of a lesser Hitchcock film?


    This month we take on Dave’s pick, the underappreciated and now relatively forgotten 1953 film I CONFESS, starring Montgomery Clift. Clift stars as Father Michael Logan, a Quebec City priest whose vows prevent him from revealing the identity of a murderer, even when he himself becomes the prime suspect of the investigation.


    What is this movie? Canadian cozy mystery? Location-heavy quasi-noir? Hitchcock’s love letter to Catholicism in the form of a risqué morality play?


    Dave and Jeremy talk about mood and style, the ethical dilemma at the heart of the movie, and weigh in on that burning question: was Montgomery Clift the original “hot priest?”

    We’ll be back next month with Jeremy’s reply.
