Shadow of a Doubt is a 1991 American TV film. It is a remake of the 1943 Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name.[1]
The film was shot in Santa Rosa, California, the same town 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. "Since there isn't any doubt to begin with, the drama is in the girl's reaction and the family's reaction to Uncle Charlie. So I thought it would be interesting to see him do this thing."[2]
