A perfect mystery thriller

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2019)

The best mystery thriller movie which I have seen in a long time. It came a long time ago but still holds up after so many years. It is definitely going in my top 10 favorite mysteries. I liked everything about the film. The marvelous direction from Hitchcock, camerawork, set, music, acting, etc. But the clear winner is the screenplay. John Michael Hayes did an amazing job. The plot, characters, and pacing were so captivating that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. The dialogues were stupendous. Every character was well crafted and interesting. My favorite character was undoubtedly Stella. Thelma Ritter was outstanding as the nurse character, who was too smart. The conversations between her and James Stewart were pure gold. James Stewart was amazing. Grace Kelley was also very good. A perfect 50s classic.
