Power of the Priest
|
Many directors have one forte, for Hitchcock it was suspense. But the difference between Hitchcock and other directors is he could used his forte in various genres. His best films tend to be what I call the Wrong Man films. These films take a innocent man and puts him between the good guys and the bad guys.
In I Confess, a man is killed. The killer confesses to the local priest (Montgomery Clift). The priest goes to the murder scene and is seen by a witness. It turns out that the priest has his own past with the murder victim.
The police are able to build a case against the priest and arrest him. He is tried and cannot reveal the real killer. When he is convicted, the truth comes out with a typical Hitchcock ending.
There have been movies about a priest knowing a killer but cannot reveal it. But in typical Hitchcock fashion, this takes it one step further. Will the priest reveal the truth, will the true killer confess to save the priest or will it be someone else?
This is a taught drama that should not be missed.
DVD EXTRAS:
