I Confess (1953)
Country: US
Technical: bw 94m
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Cast: Montgomery Clift, Anne Baxter
Synopsis:
A Quebec priest hears the confession of a murderer and is tormented by guilt.
Review:
The popular old Hitchcock theme of transference of guilt is here given its most literal treatment, and the film contains some moody location footage. Sadly its premise is its most interesting feature, and the romantic involvement is a distraction. (The film was used as the starting point for Robert Lepage's 1996 drama Le Confessionnal - qv.)
