No one would ever accuse Alfred Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt" of being plausible, but it is framed so distinctively in the Hitchcock style that it plays firmly and never breaks out of the story. Later you question the absurdity of two detectives following a suspect from New York to California, apparently without being sure of how he looks, and hanging around idly outside his residence for weeks while chatting up the suspect's niece; one of them eventually even proposes marriage. Nor are we convinced that the niece, believing her uncle is a killer of old ladies, would allow him to buy her silence by promising to leave town (because his guilt would "destroy her mother").

Nadie podría acusar a "La sombra de una duda" (Shadow of a Doubt) de Alfred Hitchcock de ser plausible, pero se enmarca de manera distintiva en el estilo Hitchcock y esto hace que se vea firme y nunca se rompa la historia. Luego te cuestionas el absurdo que supone que dos detectives sigan a un sospechoso de New York a California, aparentemente sin estar seguros de como luce, dando vueltas sin hacer nada alrededor de su residencia por semanas mientras conversan con la sobrina del sospechoso: uno de ellos eventualmente incluso le propone matrimonio. Tampoco estamos convencidos de que la sobrina, creyendo que su tío es un asesino de ancianas, le permitiría comprar su silencio con la promesa de que él dejara el pueblo (porque su culpa podría "destruir a su madre").
