Another movie that takes place entirely in a room.

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2014)

This is the first Alfred Hitchcock movie I've seen. And as of this writing it's my favorite. Here's the plot. LB "Jeff" Jeffries (James Stewart) is an adventurous photographer that is recovering from a broken leg and spends his time looking out his window. His girlfriend Lisa Freemont (Grace Kelly) is the polar opposite. Lisa is into fashion, while Jeff is into adventure. He's rugged, and she's gorgeous and really just too perfect for him. So while they're having their differences Jeff starts to suspect that a neighbor of his names Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr) has killed his wife. Eventually Lisa becomes convinced too. They try to alert a friend of Jeff's named Lieutenant Tom Doyle (Wendell Corey) but he's not listening, so Jeff and Lisa take it up themselves. Jeff sends Lisa to investigate Thorwald's apartment but she is caught. When Thorwald goes to confront Jeff, he pushes Jeff out the window. Luckily the police save Jeff, Thorwald is arrested, and Jeff and Lisa reconnect. The whole film takes place in one room. Even when something is happening across the courtyard we see it through Jeff's binoculars. The only time this doesn't happen is near the end when the police catch Jeff from falling. The acting is all great. Stewart, and Kelly were both amazing in this movie. And it leaves you with an eerie feeling that a murder could be going on right by the house.
