The fear escalates when Oakley realizes she knows his secret. That excitement turns to fear as young Charlie slowly realizes her uncle is in fact a wanted serial murderer known as the 'Merry Widow' killer. An unexpected visit by Charles Oakley, her charming and sophisticated 'Uncle Charlie', brings much excitement to her family and the small town. Written by Thornton Wilder, Sally Benson, and Alma Reville, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Story for Gordon McDonell.Ĭharlotte 'Charlie' Newton and her parents live in very quiet Santa Rosa, California. Yet it was easy to predict that it would make Bruce Willis a star, cast as a New York police detective with a sense of humor who takes on a bunch of terrorists who have occupied a Century City skyscraper.Shadow of a Doubt is a 1943 American psychological thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and starring Teresa Wright and Joseph Cotten. As a human drama it is disgusting and silly, a mindless depiction of carnage on an epic scale. The 1988 Die Hard (Channel 11 Monday at 8 p.m.) is the archetypal big-deal Hollywood exploitation picture, like a giant war toy that is a triumph of well-oiled mechanical precision that performs miracles of destruction. This third exploit of one-man attack squad John Rambo-spreading his worldwide vendetta to Afghanistan-may never be surpassed for sheer self-regard. With the 1988 Rambo III (ABC tonight at 9 p.m.), Sylvester Stallone made what may be a $60-million monument to himself, an awe-struck memorial to his musculature, a would-be pop “Iliad” loony with self-love-a carnival of carnage that reduces history, politics and warfare to foils for the greater glory of Sly. Mark Harmon and Margaret Welsh take over roles created by Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright.

Shadow of a Doubt (CBS tonight at 9 p.m.) is a new TV movie remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s favorite among his own movies, a 1943 classic.
