Hitchcock's masterpiece. Efficient, full of humourous and romantic moments, and downright suspenseful. They just don't make them like this anymore.
Alfred Hitchcock was used to doing films on small set pieces. Rope was a series of continuous takes shot in one apartment. Dial M For Murder was more of the same, also being shot in on apartment set. With Rear Window you can almost call it the biggest small set movie ever made- m...( read more)
I never thought I would say this, but I much preferred the remake with Christopher Reeve and had I not watched that version previously, I'm sure I would have completely missed the storyline on this one through boredom.
Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, wittily written by John Michael Hayes, is one of his many films I think of as much of a technical exercise as anything else. It is in this sense like his silent The Lodger, the static, confined Lifeboat, and the cut-less, one set Rope. Considered i...( read more)

Grace Kelly's best film in my opinion. James Stewart & Raymond Burr had excellent performances as well.
Genuine film-making; warps you into the art form, you're not just watching this film, you're experiencing it.

One of my Favorite Hitchcock Movies. A definite must see if you haven't seen it.
Sometimes you have to watch it a couple of times to register all the excellent details as Hitchcock leaves much to the imagination of what really happened.
Fantastic as a murder has taken place and no one has noticed.
Grace Kelly is definitely a scene stealer as Lisa Carrol Fremont.
For it is her that must do all of L. B. Jefferies(James Stewart) legwork to find out if his neighbor really is a killer.
Thelma Ritter is also a joy as his nurse
