:20:02
(Wright) I think you can't work
:20:05
without realising
how important the camera is
:20:08
and how the camera becomes
either you or the other character,
:20:13
or another character.
:20:15
So it's very much something
that is part of the story.
:20:18
(Emma) Charles, I promised Mrs Greene,
the president of our club, you'd talk,
:20:23
and she wants to know
what you're going to talk about.
:20:25
(Bogdanovich)
His speech at the dinner table,
:20:28
when he talks about women
and how life is a sty,
:20:32
Cities are full of women,
middle-aged, widows, husbands dead.
:20:36
Husbands who've spent their lives
:20:38
making fortunes, working and working.
:20:40
Then they die and leave their money
to their wives, their silly wives.
:20:45
(Bogdanovich) Hitchcock
definitely gives Cotten his position.
:20:50
He lets the character say
what he means
:20:53
and give his position paper,
so to speak. "This is how I feel."
:20:57
And what do the wives do,
these useless women?
:21:00
You see them in the best hotels
every day by the thousands,
:21:05
drinking the money, eating the money,
:21:08
losing the money at bridge,
playing all day and all night,
:21:11
smelling of money.
:21:13
(Bogdanovich)
That speech is very shocking.
:21:15
Even today, you look at it and you say,
Wow, that's pretty strong stuff."
:21:20
Horrible,
:21:22
faded, fat, greedy women.
:21:25
(Charlie) But they're alive!
They're human beings!
:21:29
Are they?
:21:31
I think the interesting thing
about Shadow of a Doubt is that
:21:34
it was one of the two movies
where actually the villain is the hero,
:21:37
as in Psycho .
:21:41
(Bogdanovich) That's one of the things
you can characterise about Hitchcock
:21:44
is this kind of empathy for the devil.
:21:48
(Emma) Joe, it's Herbert.
:21:50
He always comes when we're eating.
:21:54
(Wright) The other thing
I love about Hitchcock's films
:21:57
is that no matter how serious
:21:59
or how tragic or desperate
or scary the film is,
