In teaching this weekend to my PreConfimation class I spoke on my favorite Hitchcock film, I think it is called the Confession, with Mongomery Cliff. He portrays a priest who hears the confession of a man who has committed murder wearing the priests cassock. the preist is implicated when it is found out that the dead mans wife weas the girlfriend of Cliff before whe went to war. Cliff obstinately refuses to devulge the true murderer even at the cost of possible capital punishment.
ReplyDeleteHitchcock being Catholic blended a virtuous story with a dramtic story. Well worth watching.

I agree, that film is one of my favorites, too!
ReplyDeleteIt was "I Confess" with Montgomery Clift, and it is one of my favs as well. There was a modern remake within the last few years called "Confession", but I haven't seen it so I don't know how good it is.
ReplyDeleteI heard that Hitchcock never received an Oscar. Could that be true? It shows that the Oscars were worthless, even back then....
