Lookout For Murder.

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2013)

Alfred Hitchcock directed this classic suspense film that stars Jimmy Stewart as L.B. 'Jeff' Jeffries, a photographer laid up in his New York apartment in a wheelchair after breaking his leg getting an action shot at an auto race. He has taken to spying on his neighbors from his rear window with a pair of binoculars, when he becomes convinced that his neighbor Lars Thorwald(played menacingly by Raymond Burr) has murdered his wife. He tries to convince a police detective friend of his(played by Wendell Corey) but without proof, can do nothing. He then enlists his high society girlfriend(beautiful Grace Kelly) and his nurse(played by Thelma Ritter) to investigate, with unexpected and dangerous results...
Brilliant film effectively blends witty humor and glamor with menace and murder. Incredibly suspenseful and compelling story, endearing characters, and superbly directed climax all make this a classic, not to be missed.
