Saboteur (1942)

During the last years of World War II Los Angeles aircraft-factory worker Barry Kane (Robert Cummings) is accused of sabotage and killing a friend in a fire. To clear his name he embarks on a cross-country adventure on the trail of a man seen before the sabotage. His journey takes him to New York's Radio City Music Hall and the Statue of Liberty.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943)

This classic follows the story of bored native of Santa Rosa, California Charlotte "Charlie" Newton (Teresa Wright). She hopes the visit of uncle Charles Oakley (Joseph Cotten) will spice her life up. But, she soon suspects her beloved relative of serial murder. Dialogue-driven and filmed extensively on location, the film portrays two characters obsessed with murder.

Torn Curtain (1966)

This Cold-War thriller sees world-famous scientist Michael Armstrong (Paul Newman) travelling to Copenhagen for a physics conference. Fiancée Sarah Sherman (Julie Andrews) mistakenly intercepts a message meant for Armstrong, leading her to believe he's defecting behind the Iron Curtain. Or is he?

The Trouble with Harry (1955)

The trouble with Harry is that he's dead. In one of Hitchcock's few genuine comedies, retired sea captain Albert Wiles (Edmund Gwenn) is out for a little rabbit hunting. He finds Harry's body and thinks he may have mistakenly shot the stranger. He decides to bury the evidence. But almost everybody else in the small town thinks they are responsible, too, including Harry's wife Jennifer (Shirley MacLaine). Local artist Sam Marlowe (John Forsythe) helps neighbours cover up the crime.
