 I Confess (1953)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The premise is simple: a priest hears a murder's confession and even after the priest himself is implicated in the murder, he chooses not to reveal the killer's identity.
In his eyes, the priest almost looks like he is enjoying the position of martyr that he is forced to assume.
The priest does not even attempt to convince the killer to confess; it is as if he wants to carry the "cross" on his shoulders.

 I Confess: Intro   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This is classic Hitchcock, an idea he used several times to great success, and in I Confess it comes with a twist: the man already knows the identity of the true killer, yet he is bound by his religious beliefs not to say anything to anyone about it.
Hitchcock includes several of his touches, and his fingerprint can be seen on the suspense within the film: he doesn't create suspense by keeping secrets; instead, he does so by telling the audience everything right at the beginning.
All elements, love, the truth, and that alll important connection, which were at work in Notorious (and extremely powerfully at that) are simply absent in I Confess (along with humor, a staple in Hitch's more successful films).

 I Confess - Historical Note
The release of I Confess in 1953 must have seemed to the Cahiers du cinéma critics who had championed Hitchcock to be a confirmation of all their theories, because it is THE textbook example of the famous "transference of guilt" motif, enacted within the archetypal context of the Roman Catholic confessional.
But I Confess had already been in development for two years when Hitchcock read Highsmith's book and bought it to launch his contract as producer-director at Warners, and the two films would appear to have been closely intertwined in their evolution after that.

The ingenious premise concerns a priest, Father Michael Logan (Montgomery Clift), who hears a killer's confession, but can't break his vow of silence and report the crime, even when suspicion falls upon himself.
