Hitchcock's "Rear Window" is at the front of the line of Classic Suspensers.

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2016)

Boy, could that James Stewart ever carry a movie in the dude's prime? That answer would be an unequivocal HELL YEAH! This is precisely what the legendary actor does as his hobbled photographer turned opportunistic voyeur character of Jeff is integral to nearly every single scene in Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1954 mystery thriller "Rear Window". I'm not going to launch into detail regarding plot and such as you, unlike me, have in all probability seen this film before, if not several times.
I will simply say that ol' Al, along with a uniquely twisted sense of both the macabre and of human nature, also had quite the natural knack for comic relief in the form of sly sexual innuendo and salacious double entendre to go right along with his mastery of suspense.
Oh, I suppose I could nitpick on conspicuous aspects along the lines of a window reveals what's on both sides of the pane. And hey, Raymond Burr, as you advanced upon a wheelchair-bound Jimmy with extreme menace toward the finish of the flick, did it not occur to you to shut your eyes when you knew the flash was coming?
But why niggle? This is such a suck-you-in story that is at once so damn fun and funny only a horse's as...uh, "rear"...would fish to find fault in it.
