Montgomery Clift stars in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller about a priest on trial for murder ... whose only defense would violate the sanctity of the real killer's confession. In the confessional of a small Quebec parish, Father Michael Logan(Clift) hears the church sexton whisper: "I killed a man." Father Logan's vows prevent him from breaking the sanctity of the confessional--and allow the killer to go free. But as the police investigate the murder, all the evidence points to Father Logan. Now, to remain true to his vows, Father Logan will be forever discredited--and possibly convicted for murder.

Ian Kane

While “I Confess” may not rank among Hitchcock’s most celebrated works, it remains an engaging film that many viewers will find both thought-provoking and worthwhile.

...it says something about the limitations of Hitchcock’s work as a whole that I Confess is theologically coherent but morally rather confused...

Hitchcock's new melodrama, I Confess, has negated the realism to settle for the "effects..." [but] it had the most interesting acting of the year-by Anne Baxter.

In the end, the climax provides some excitement - but only due to a bit of chaos and a colossal contrivance rather than a clever form of sleuthing or justice.

Although I Confess... lacks some of the cumulative suspense which has marked most pictures by Alfred Hitchcock, it becomes engrossing entertainment because he is dealing with a clever Idea in a more than ordinarily perceptive way.
