1516 Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt: A Dark Mirror of German Expressionism. In this effort, Hitchcock employs many of the thematic and cinematic elements of earlier film genres; in particular that of German Expressionism. This essay will argue that Hitchcock uses the Expressionist device of the doppelganger or double to delve into the darker areas of the human mind. The brilliance of Hitchcock's employment of this in Shadow of a Doubt, it will be argued, lies in Hitchcock's realization that the monstrous is intimately linked, and may in fact be produced by, normality. 3.5 pgs. 4 f/c. 3b.

1806 "Film Noir" Motifs in Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. Alfred Hitchcock is one of the few Hollywood directors to be considered an auteur. Over the course of decades he consistently produced his dark vision of reality from within the heart of the Hollywood dream factory. A singular example of this dark vision is his 1941 film Shadow of a Doubt. This paper will examine how, in this work, Hitchcock employs many of the stylistic elements of the genre that would later become known as film noir to reveal the darkness that is at the heart of the "American dream." 4 pgs. 7 f/c. 3b.

3303 A Divided Vision: The Renoir-Hitchcock Continuum in Francois Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player" and "The Bride Wore Black". This paper will attempt to situate two Truffaut films - "Shoot the Piano Player" and "The Bride Wore Black" - along the critical continuum between these two auteurs. It will be argued that while the influence of Hitchcock in these films may be found mostly in their formal qualities, while that of Renoir lies in their thematic orientation, such an absolute distinction is alien to Truffaut's appreciation and understanding of these directors. Thus, rather than reading these films in terms of a tension between two polarities, it will be shown how Truffaut interweaves elements of both directors' visions in two complex visual tapestries that are ultimately and undeniably his own. 6 pgs. 5 f/c. 3b.
