Classics & Cake: Shadow of a Doubt

There’s something strange about Uncle Charlie…

Join us for a classic afternoon of cinema, tea and cake with Alfred Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt, one of the director’s most acclaimed early thrillers.

Young Charlie is delighted when her beloved Uncle Charlie comes to stay with her family in their quiet California town. But as she begins to notice strange behaviour and unsettling clues about his past, her admiration slowly turns into suspicion. Could the charming uncle she adores be hiding a terrible secret?

Released in 1943, Shadow of a Doubt is Hitchcock at his most psychologically tense, transforming an ordinary family home into a place of suspicion and unease. With superb performances, clever twists and that unmistakable Hitchcock atmosphere, it remains a gripping classic more than 80 years later.

And, of course, your afternoon includes tea/coffee and cake — because even Hitchcock knew a good mystery goes rather well with a cuppa.

Part of our Classics with Cake series, this screening includes tea, coffee, and cake – the perfect way to enjoy a timeless Classic.
