 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, March 20, the Clark Art Institute continues its Small Town film series with a screening of "Shadow of a Doubt" (1943) at 6 pm in the Manton Research Center. According to a press release: Set and partially shot in Santa Rosa, California, part of the brilliant tension that propels Shadow of a Doubt comes from its small-town setting.

When her worldly Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten), who is also her namesake, shows up, things become much more exciting—perhaps too exciting. 0 Comments
