The way I see it - Just like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" being an intended black comedy about transvestites and slasher films..... Well..... How about this? I view "I Confess" as being a black comedy about the Catholic religion where Hitchcock wants us to laugh at how preposterous this whole business is when it comes to a priest not being allowed to break the seal of silence from a confessional (even when this concerns the matter of bringing the identity of a murderer to the attention of the law). Anyway - Speaking about slasher films - I really think that "I Confess" needed a psycho of its own to liven things up. It really did. And, I believe that Montgomery Clift, playing a priest, would've made for an ideal psycho. Yeah. 'Cause I think that it would've been a real surprise twist if he'd turned out to be a total transvestite under his fatherly frock. Don't you?
