 Rating:  - A classic Hitchcock thriller does not disappointThis is the classic Hitchcock thriller. Wonderfully done, it takes place in Montreal. The movie begins with a Catholic priest hearing the confession of a man who just committed murder. Of course, the priest can say nothing. He cannot even say whether or not he even heard the confession of the man. The Catholic Church is treated respectfully in this 1950s movie. (Which is probably why it is never shown on TV!) It is not a religious movie by any means, but it is, like ... Read More Rating:  - "I CONFESS" IS AN UNDER RATED CLASSIC.THE VILLAIN IS REMORESFUL AND ALTERNATINGLY EVIL. THE PRIEST IS A VICTIM OF THE CONFESSIONAL. TO REMAIN THE TRUE PRIEST THAT HE IS,HE MUST KEEP THE VOW OF SILENCE. EVEN THOUGH HE IS BLAMED FOR A MURDER HE DID NOT COMMIT. THE LOOK ON MONGOMERY CLIFT'S FACE SAYS IT ALL. KARL MALDEN, ANNE BAXTER AND THE REST OF THE CAST ARE EXCELLENT. THE ON LOCATION SCENES OF QUEBEC ARE A BIG,BIG BONUS TO THIS MOVIE. OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES (INTERVIEWS ETC.) ARE INCLUDED IN THIS WORTH ...

It is a salve for our cynical hearts with a believable story and character that convey the positives of humanity and true moral character. Fr. Logan (Montgomery Clift) is every man and woman who is challenged to compromise their moral standards. Refusing to give in to the pressures ...

Like "The Wrong Man" it also contains the most overt reference to Hitchcock's Catholic upbringing. The plot hinges on the sanctity of the Catholic Confessional and whether a priest (played by Montgomery Clift) will break it to save himself. The exteriors of the film were (beautifully) shot in Quebec and this really adds to the look ... Read More Rating: - Great movieGreat and deep movie, beautifully photographed. Great cast. Good job from Montgomery Cliff. Of course, to me the star of the movie is Quebec City. I lived in Old Quebec for years, so it's quite a treat to see the city so beautifully photographed. And see the actors walking on streets i know. And, yes, there is still a lot of one-way streets in the Old town. At least one of the french-canadian actors playing bit parts in I Confess is still working in televison today ! ... Read More |
