ππ¨π¬ππ©π‘ ππ¨ππππ§, one of the truly great actors, is the focus of this piece, specifically his performance in Shadow of a Doubt, a Hitchcock noir thriller. Mr. Cotten portrays "Uncle Charlie", a serial killer trying to evade two diligent lawmen. He moves across the country to his sister's house, but it becomes apparent that the agents are still homing in on him. On occasion, he lets slip his mask of the charming, urbane Uncle, and the less palatable, psychopathic elements of his personality take the helm. In this mesmerizing, chilling performance , specifically in this scene, Cotten metamorphoses from disarmingly lighthearted/congenial/convivial, to quite menacing/disquieting, in an almost imperceptibly seamless manner, right at the dinner table. His views on women who live in βThe Cityβ are not terribly flattering, as such.

Uncle Charlie (Our featured genius, Mr. Cotten) seems less than enthused that a would-be interviewer/photographer (or twoβ¦) is/are in the offing. Perhaps the fact that he has sought refuge at his older sisterβs βnormalβ home, safe, secure, and far, far away from his litany of serial murders, yet is nonetheless in all likelihood on the precipice of being located...perhaps this is playing no small role in re: his sudden enthusiasm-plummet.
