Out Of Hitchock's many masterpieces this ranks near the top

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2011)

This is a truly great suspense thriller. They don't make movies like this anymore. The basic premise is L.B Jeffries played by the great Jimmy Stewart has a broken leg from an accident working as a photographer. He starts peering into neigbours apartment windows. One day he suspects he has seen a man cover up his wife's murder. Also involved is Lisa played by the stunning Grace Kelly, she is a fun society girl and she is falling for L.B, she also gets on the idea of the man murdering his wife. Hitchock plays out suspense like no other. Not only does he amazing talent for suspense the lines he gives Jimmy Stewart and the way he spits out so funny and amazing. This was a small short story put onto the screen that is like a play. This is a true masterpiece of cinema. I can't believe that Hitchcock never won an Oscar in his career. He got a lifetime achievement Oscar but it's not really the same.
