Starring - Montgomery Clift, Anne Baxter, Karl Malden, Brian Aherne

 

"A priest who hers the confession of a murderer soon finds himself the prime suspect of his crime. This film has its dull moments but is nevertheless among Hitchcock’s darkest thrillers, and is very compelling in dealing with a delicate theme such as religion. Montgomery Clift’s performance as the troubled priest is intense and ambiguous."
