Full marks, Hitchcock.

Rating: Null/10 (3 April 2003)

I was choosing between this and "From Here to Eternity" at my local video store. I got both, but rathered this, incidentally.
Hitchcock, master of direction, suspense wizard extraordinaire has unleashed another mystery upon us; Jeffries (Excellently played by Stewart) has broken his leg, and takes to watching people out of his apartment window. His neighbours are for the most part an amicable bunch (one feels affection for them after a while) but there is a grey area inhabited by one man. Soon, it becomes apparent to Jeffries that his neighbour isn't of good heart, and it seems that Jeffries has become a witness to a masked murder.
The beautiful Grace Kelly, goddess of the silver screen, also stars in this classic thriller. The thrills, as Hitchcock said of the movie, are not to be expected; one must relax and let the shocks arrive. They take their time, may I add, but when they come it really is quite suprising.
10/10, well directed, well cast, well acted, well everything.
