The art of simplicity

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 1999)

Plenty of space has been devoted to praising this film so I will only dwell on the aspects that struck me personally. First and foremost, this movie is a great example of how simplicity can be used to produce something great. This movie has no special effects or dramatic plot twists, just a view of what one man sees out of his window. Secondly, this is backed up by some excellent performances from James Stewart, Thelma Ritter, and especially Grace Kelly.
Kudos to Hitchcock and gang. 72/100
