“Sure, Vertigo is more personal, Psycho more bizarre, North by Northwest more thrilling. But Rear Window shows the Master of Suspense at his most spare, sophisticated and sinisterly clever, a movie that is essentially about watching movies.” —John Monaghan, Detroit Free PressA newspaper photographer (Jimmy Stewart) with a broken leg passes time recuperating by observing his neighbors through his window. He sees what he believes to be a murder, and decides to solve the crime himself. With the help of his nurse (Thelma Ritter) and girlfriend (Grace Kelly), he tries to catch the murderer without being killed himself.
Alfred Hitchcock, 1954
PG; 116 minutes
