"I Confess" Hitchcock & the Sacramental Seal

Today we began watching segments of Alfred Hitchcock's film "I Confess" (1953). Here's a brief storyline summary from IMDB:

"Otto Kellar and his wife Alma work as caretaker and housekeeper at a Catholic church in Quebec. Whilst robbing a house where he sometimes works as a gardener, Otto is caught and kills the owner. Racked with guilt he heads back to the church where Father Michael Logan is working late. Otto confesses his crime, but when the police begin to suspect Father Logan he cannot reveal what he has been told in the confession."

Alfred Hitchcock (director and producer) is regarded as a pioneer in cinematic history. Most of his films are psyschological suspense thrillers and his techniques were imitated by numerous film makers that followed. His most popular films are: Rear Window (1954), Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960), and North by Northwest (1959)
