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)
Hitchcock's best film, James Stewart is more tolerable than usual but Grace Kelly is annoying as hell like always, Her role in the film's made her even more annoying
A simple yet brilliant story. James Stewart performs fantastic and is certainly one of my favourite actors of all time. A timeless classic from Hitchcock.
One of the most well-known of Hitchcock's masterpieces, Rear Window's plot is wonderfully simple, yet it can be watched over and over again. Jimmy Stewart is, always, fantastic, and the stunning Grace Kelly adds another dimention to the performances. This will leave you on the ed...( read more)
Grace Kelly's best film in my opinion. James Stewart & Raymond Burr had excellent performances as well.

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
