Room With a View

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 1998)

Alfred Hitchcock's movie about murder and "true love," about people and their relationships, and about the consequences of our actions.
While the movie does have a somewhat stuffy apartment atmosphere, it does tell the story of a couple who are in love--one who knows and one who is not sure.
In one of the greatest love scenes in motion pictures Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly) steals the show as she comes upon Jeff Jeffries (James Stewart) in a wheel-chair in his apartment. There appears to be silence as Lisa looms into view (not in slow motion but time seems to slow down ...) and she gives him a kiss. She asks him if he is alright and about all his aches and pains. The scene just blows me away!
The movie is about love between different classes of people and whether they can make it work--some do and some don't!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars
