Beware of what happens out back.

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2010)

This is the first movie that my wife and I fell in love with when we began dating. Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly and Thelma Ritter all give stellar performances. Raymond Burr as a "bad guy", after watching Perry Mason for years it was hard to envision him out of character. Jimmy's photographic character is so obsessed with his work that he plays the bachelor for life man even though he has the most beautiful girlfriend in Grace Kelly. Thelma Ritter is the comedic relief character in this thriller, her know it and seen it all therapist makes you smile. The whole story is based out Jimmy's rear apartment window. Even though this fill is now over 50 years old, it still wins over kids today, Alfred Hitchcock was a superb director who knew how to get the most our of his actors. Music is one of the key elements in this film, where you need to watch it a couple of times to pick up on all of the nuances that Hitchcock is famous for in all of his films. As a side note, in the opening scenes you can see Alfred up in the studio apartment with the piano player, he always did a cameo scene in his movies. Enjoy this film with a friend so you can talk about it later on.
