Was there a cameo by Hitchcock in this film? Winick88 10:56, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Image:Original movie poster for the film Shadow of a Doubt.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

In "The Birds" (1963), which takes place in the Northern California town of Bodega Bay, reference is made to nearby Santa Rosa, locale of "Shadow of a Doubt" 20 years earlier. Maccb ( talk) 05:12, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
And if you've ever been to Santa Rosa, at Railroad Square as it's now called..it gives one goosebumps to know they stood and acted, right there. Also across the street is Hotel La Rose, built w/ the same type of grey stone as the rail station. the little(Depot)park has trees planted by Luther Burbank, the famous botanist. His home there is now a museum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.218.248.127 ( talk) 04:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
The cite given for the statement in the opening paragraph of this article that 'Hitchcock often said it was his personal favorite' in fact only states that the film was "purported to be his personal favorite." The cited article offers no evidence even for that statement. In Hitchcock's famous interviews with Francois Truffaut, Truffaut mentions that it's Hitchcock's favorite, and Hitchcock replies, "I wouldn't say it's my favorite." If there is a legitimate cite for the claim that Hitchcock (frequently, no less) named it as his favorite, fine, but the one given only makes an uncited claim about what's 'purported'. 70.137.171.200 ( talk) 02:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that the subject of telepathy is dealt with in this film: there seems to be some sort of telepathic communication between the uncle and his neice. Am I wrong? 151.46.172.38 ( talk) 21:32, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Why is this in the category of films set in Maine, when it is set only in Philadelphia and Santa Rosa? Have state lines been redrawn since 1943? -- Hors-la-loi ( talk) 22:01, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
No one seems ever to have remarked on the fact that Hitchcock broke his own rule about "surprise versus suspense": If two people are sitting at a table and a bomb suddenly goes off, you scare the audience for 15 seconds. But if the audience knows there's a bomb, you can keep it on the edge of its collective seat for five minutes. Hitchcock does this perfectly in Sabotage.
By revealing who Uncle Charlie is right at the beginning, Hitchcock destroys the film's suspense. The audience should be just as much in the dark about Uncle Charlie as his niece is, its discomfort building with hers. But there's no "shadow of a doubt" in the audience's mind.
This could be fixed by a simple edit that removes (or repositions) the opening scene. It would be interesting to see how modern viewers unfamiliar with the film react to this. WilliamSommerwerck ( talk) 16:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
I have twice tagged this section for being original research as no sources are provided, and CapnZapp ( talk · contribs) has twice reverted my tagging without clearly explaining why no sources should be required. I checked the linked article and confirmed that there's also no sources provided there.
I believe it's entirely appropriate (and should be a relatively easy task) to provide a source for this, and why CapnZapp is so resistant to my asking for one is beyond me. I would welcome the opinions of other editors on this matter. DonIago ( talk) 14:29, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

if for no other reason than a citation *is* provided. However, consider that by this time you would have spent less energy on simply finding a source yourself than you have spent on trying to tag the article; I'm sure academic coverage on Hitchcock's cameos isn't hard to find. Regards
