Hitchcock at his best.

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 1998)

For me, 'Rear Window' is Hitchcock's best movie. It provides the best examples of what makes Hitchcock the "Master". This movie sinfully combines his trademark witty humor with his eye for deceptive suspense. James Stewart is at his humorous best, while Grace Kelly is in her most glamorous role. The witticism displayed along with the natural lure to voyeurism is joyfully entertaining, and they provide loads of entertainment before the intrigue and suspense really gets cooking latter on in the movie. Simply a wonderful movie. It is so frustrating not being able to purchase the video (currently not in print). I hear that Hitchcock fans will have to wait until late 1999 (when a restored version will be ready) to enjoy 'Rear Window' at home. Torture!!!
