4/4 Stars! “ultimately reveals itself to be one of Hitchcock’s most successful examinations” (Slant)

“it’s superb; it contains perhaps the most flagrantly beautiful black-and-white cinematography of any Hitchcock film” (Combustible Celluloid)

“The film has a fascinating premise…intense performances by Malden and Clift make this minor Hitchcock tale seem like a major Hitchcock tale.” (Dennis Schwartz Reviews)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

When a priest hears a murderer’s confession, he becomes bound by his vow of silence—even as circumstantial evidence turns suspicion toward him. Torn between faith and self-preservation, he faces public scandal and trial for a crime he cannot reveal the truth about.
