Shadow of a Doubt is a 1991 American psychological thriller television film directed by Karen Arthur. A remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 film of the same name,[1] John Gay's teleplay, based on the screenplay by Thornton Wilder, Sally Benson and Alma Reville, follows a young woman (Margaret Welsh) who gradually discovers that her beloved uncle (Mark Harmon) is in fact a serial murderer.
The film was shot in Santa Rosa, California, the same town as the original. Writer John Gay added a new opening scene where Uncle Charlie seduces and murders widow Terese Mathewson. "When you look at the original film, 10 minutes into it there isn't any doubt that Uncle Charlie is the killer," said Gay. "Since there isn't any doubt to begin with, the drama is in the girl's reaction and the family's reaction to Uncle Charlie. So I thought it would be interesting to see him do this thing."[2]
