Great plot accompanies excellent cinematography and music scores

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2008)

Movies don't get much better than this. Hitchcock is a master at using camera angles to set-up a variety of scenes although the entire movie is filmed in an apartment building commons. James Stewart and Grace Kelly have an incredible tension between them that feeds each others ego making the story that much better. A lot of classic films seem to only be applauded for their age rather than their content, but 'Rear Window' is not one of those movies. Technicolor is the only negative aspect of the film I watched, but can be overlooked if only to enjoy a masterpiece. I can barely remember watching 'Alfred Hitchcock presents' on TV when I was in my teens, but now I am going to go back and watch a lot more of his works.
