A tight film by Hitchcock

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2009)

I feel that writers Cornell Woolrich and John Michael Hayes delivered a wonderful concept and story to work from. And to have a film where most of the action is really "contained" because the lead character is in a wheelchair is quite a task. They certainly accomplished it.
Director Alfred Hitchcock gives yet another tight and gripping drama. Hitchcock always, and effortlessly, infuses charm an grace within his dramas.
The "grace" comes from Grace Kelly, who with great economy of gestures, is very readable and very nice to look at. She is cool, calm and charming.
Jimmy Stewart is perfect as the lead character, who is stuck in a wheelchair, and who observes a sinister event. He is a wonderful "leading man." Together, Kelly and Stewart have a very nice chemistry on film. You would think that they were naturally made for each other.
This is one that I could enjoy watching over again for a few more times.
