Despite Cary Grant’s insane character, one clearly meant to be a little unhinged, the end of the movie is intended to be a happy union between Grant and Fontaine. In the first film, studio involvement necessitated that the male hero be just that, a hero. In the former, Joan Fontaine begins to worry that the man she married, played by Cary Grant, has murder on his mind, and in this film a young woman’s infatuation for her uncle turns inside out as she suspects he is a serial killer. They are similar films, following one character’s increasing paranoia that someone they love is a monster. Shadow of a Doubt, like Hitchcock’s Suspicion (1941), is about the deconstruction of myth, to some extent.
