A Hitchcock Classic

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2008)

*Somewhat of a spoiler on line three* I finally got around to seeing "Rear Window" last night and i got just what i expected; The timeless Hitchcock classic that i had heard so many great things about. It was filmed in such and interesting way and had such a gripping story that i didn't notice that the whole film basically takes place in the apartment of photographer Jimmy Stewart. Grace Kelly is charming as Lisa, Stewart's opposite in the film and all of the other performances are wonderful as well. The apartment courtyard set is really a treat to look at and its design is a key factor to the charm of this movie. Overall, this is probably Hitchcock's best and should be on your NETFLIX or video store rental list ASAP.
