Alfred Hitchcock does it again with some superb movie making

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2015)

Mr. Hitchcock really out did his self with the making of Rear Window. The lighting alone is something that is truly amazing. When the camera shows an apartment across the courtyard, you get to see what it is that Mr.Hitchcok wants you to see. You don't suffer, or the movie, because of too dark a corner or something lacking lighting wise. The director is on his game and is not gong to let any detail go unnoticed. Truly a masterpiece. The directing is taught, truly suspenseful, and not over done. You are too wrapped up in what is going on in this film to even have much of a chance to think about the directing. The acting is great as well, but I don't think Mr. Hitchcock wouldn't have had it any other way. James Stewart is great, just great. You feel for the poor guy, and having to put up with his broken leg is just icing on the cake. The writing is first rate as well. It's a great movie and it will not disappoint.
