I watched an old Alfred Hitchcock film the other night entitled I Confess. It starred a really young Montgomery Clift as a priest. The movie also stars Anne Baxter. At the beginning of the movie an immigrant murders a wealthy man from the town during a robbery on accident. Right after the murder he returns to the rectory where he works and confesses the crime to Father Logan played by Montgomery Clift. The subsequent day when the murder is discovered, Father Logan must act like he knows nothing of the crime. However what the immigrant didnt know is that Father Logan would later be accused of the crime.

When Mike Logan returned from the war his sweetheart, Ruth played Anne Baxter had married yet another. He did not realize this till after spending a single last night with her in an abandoned gazebo. The subsequent morning the owner of the gazebo catches them and knows the husband of his sweetheart. Upon hearing that she is married, Mike Logan leaves and joins the priesthood. The owner of the gazebo, Mr. Villette, starts to black mail the young wife. Immediately after five years, Anne meets up with Father Logan and they make a decision to talk to Mr. Villette about the black mail. Unfortunately, he is killed the night ahead of.

The police locate out this data and commence to suspect Father Logan of the crime. The exciting portion of the story is seeing a man accused of a crime he didnt commit and knows who committed it, but is drawn to the loyalty of an oath not to reveal. Even up until the end of the movie when Father Logan is cleared and they suspect the immigrant he does not reveal who the accurate murderer is.

This is not a single of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock films, but absolutely worth checking out. If you enjoyed this movie I would advocate Hitchcocks other individuals such as Strangers on a Train or Dial M for Murder. link
