I've been toying with the thought of a remake, I've been doing this lately, although I hate the idea of remakes of great movies, this one is one of those that in the right hands could have a real impact. I've seen 'Shadow of a Doubt' 3 or 4 times but every time you're forced to take the trip with the same amount of commitment. Brilliant, because in Joseph Cotten's eyes we find his need for redemption or are we falling in the trap of this master manipulator? We are torn, just like Teresa Wright. Teresa Wright's eyes tell the whole story from the audience's point of view, even if the audience is one step ahead of her. The scenes between Henry Travers and Hume Cronyn are how I imagine the story meetings between Thornton Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock.

Patricia Collinge's performance is so spot on that you're longing for more. The structure is Our Townish, the characters, deliciously rich. Thornton Wilder was Hitchcock's partner in crime this time and it shows. Uncle Charlie's urbanity becomes his most frightening feature. Joseph Cotten is the perfect charming monster. I mistrusted the uncle thing as a term of endearment ever since. The article also questions recent accounts of lay epidemiology as an adequate model for understanding the progress of such innovations in medical history.Uncle Charlie did it for me. In contrast to some recent interpretations, and also to the narrative of progress that practitioner historians have developed since the 1940s, this article suggests that the use of this technology was contested for much of this period and the interpretation of X-rays remained disputed and uncertain into the 1950s.

This article examines the introduction of a particular technique, x-radiography, and its use by radiologists and others in debates on the causes and consequences of silica inhalation by the laboring population in Britain during the early decades of the twentieth century. Surprisingly little research has been undertaken on the United Kingdom, which provided much of the early expertise and medical research in respiratory diseases among industrial workers.

Recent historical scholarship has drawn attention to the importance of patient attitudes, popular protests, and compensation claims in the formation of a 'lay epidemiology' of such a disease, frequently challenging the scientific orthodoxies devised by large corporations and medical specialists. The history of silicosis provides an important chapter in the history of occupational and environmental health.

Beyond a shadow of doubt
