"STEP BY STEP... he made a career out of love.... and murder!"

Both are unaware of his criminal past. Johnny hopes to settle in his native village and start a new life there.

The sensational poster above (and title) makes a curious attempt to trick the viewer into thinking you might be watching some sort of Italian horror movie, when in fact it's just a very poor remake of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (Film, 1943) . Not only does it add nothing in terms of plot (the film is also 30 minutes shorter), the acting is also a lot less (Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright are unparalleled) and the dynamics in the family are almost non-existent. I haven't seen Shadowin a while, but I seem to remember there were more than 4 family members present, this almost looked like some kind of (failed) play with the sparse cast.
