Review: Jimmy Stewart's innocence mixed with the absolute beauty of Grace brings hope to the sinister and dark shadows cast by Raymond. The coupling of Stewart and Grace can only give us the optimistic hope that good will overcome evil -- again and again.

Summary: Classic Hitchcock Suspense, Stewart and Kelley at their best
Review: Stewart sees what he thinks is a murder from his apartment window as he is recovering from a leg injury. The suspense develops as he tries to figure out if the murder actually took place. Raymond Burr is the bad guy. No one believes Stewart. Grace Kelley, his girlfriend, finally thinks he is on to something. Also, a great appearance by the pet dog, possibly digging up evidence! This is one of the best Hitchcock movies ever.

Summary: One of Hitchcock's best
Review: This movie is full of suspense, and yet is fun and entertaining. Grace Kelly is superb, as is Thelma Ritter. Raymond Burr is good as the killer even though its an unusual part for him. James Stewart as the journalist with the broken leg who sits and watches everyone in his apartment complex, plays an excellent part. It's a wonderful movie. Sad -- full of suspense -- and entertaining all in one.

Summary: Top Notch Edge-Of-Your-Seat Suspense/Mystery
Review: Alfred Hitchcock uses everything possible to make this movie the awesome, suspensful movie it is. Don't run away from this one just because it's a classic, it is better than most thrillers today. Don't be miss-lead by the 1998 re-make.James Stewart plays a wheelchair bound photographer, suffering from a broken leg. Subsequently he takes up the interesting habit of watching his neighbors through his "rear window". His girlfriend, nurse, and old friend who is a detective, soon become involved, when he suspects a salesman neighbor of murdering his own, invalid wife, one night!

Summary: A Voyeuristic Masterpiece
Review: "Rear Window" and "Vertigo" have been referred to as Alfred Hitchcock's voyeuristic masterpieces with good reason. The latter film relates to Jimmy Stewart playing a retired detective determined to make another woman into someone he believed had previously existed but never did, and was only a fictitious creation of her lover, who was a clever murderer. Kim Novak, in one of her early efforts, played the dual role with just the proper measure of ethereal distance. Four years before "Vertigo" previewed Hitchcock directed another powerful voyeuristic film with Stewart cast in the male lead, this time opposite another blonde bombshell, the future princess Grace Kelly. Based on a story by master thriller author Cornell Woolrich, "Rear Window" is about a successful photographer who, after breaking his leg in an accident while covering an automobile race, is laid up in his Manhattan apartment. In between visits from gorgeous socialite Kelly he whiles away his time observing his neighbors from the apartment building behind his own, separated by a courtyard. Stewart lives as a voyeur, spending his time observing people like Miss Lonelyhearts, the woman who fixes herself candlelight dinners she shares with wine and music with imaginary love interests, a composer constantly at work at his piano, and a seductively constructed ballet dancer with a seemingly unending host of male admirers. Kelly becomes concerned over his interest in observing the ballet dancer. Eventually Stewart becomes preoccupied, however, with another neighbor, the husky, white-haired Raymond Burr, several years away from his future starring role in the Perry Mason television detective series. Stewart notices that Burr's wife is ill and confined to bed. He then becomes increasingly preoccupied with Burr's comings and goings at various hours of the night. At first Kelly tells him he is concerned over nothing. He then attracts her interest, and finally that of his detective friend and former World War Two Air Force buddy Wendell Corey. Just what is happening? Are their imaginations overworked? The finale is spelled out in typical Hitchcock fashion, after he has worked his audience's curiosity to overpowering levels. Hitchcock seemingly loved little, if anything, more than tweaking his audience. The curiosity grows and grows until the finale. The color and camera work are spectacular. We stare into the lives of individuals who are unaware of the fact that we are there. That is, until Raymond Burr begins to suspect something. At that point the story moves into high gear, all the way to its compelling climax.

Summary: Trapped in a Sound Stage
Review: I don't think this is Hitch's best film. It is highly ranked by film rating services, sometimes higher than Vertigo, but I can't agree. There's something claustrophobic about what is essentially a movie set. We are stuck in that lofty room with the big glass windows. Jimmy Stewart peers across a courtyard and observes New Yorkers in their habitat. When I was in elementary school we used to have projects called diorama's where we would take a shoebox and decorate it like a stage. Each apartment in Hitch's diorama showcases a mostly silent vignette, the gorgeous dancer and her boyfriends, the lonely-heart middle-age lady, the sex crazed newlyweds, and the guy who kills his wife. Stewart can watch all the fun, but with a broken leg, he can't leave the apartment to do anything about it. Hence, the suspense centers on Stewarts inability to maneuver when his girlfriend, fashion gal, Grace Kelly breaks into the killers apartment to find clues. We see the killer coming down the hall and Jimmy can't warn her from his perch. Stewart and Kelly are interesting as a couple with opposite interests. She's high fashion-society chick and he's a rough-it, world-traveling photographer. These differences never really resolve and Stewart appears maybe 15-20 years older than young marriage-scheming Grace. This is really a stage play with stage play lighting and a who-dun-it plot. Great suspense, yes, but not as good as Vertigo by a mile.

Summary: Hichcock's Greatest Suspense!
Review: While many say Hitch's greatest films are Psycho, Vertigo, & North by Northwest I have to say that 'Rear Window' is more suspenseful than all of his works. Grace Kelly, is of course beautiful & perfect in every way, while James Stewart pulls off his best role ever as a wheelchair bound photographer. But the real star of the show was Thelma Ritter as Stella, the insurance company nurse. The movie takes place the whole time in the two bedroom appartment of L.B. Jeffries, a wheelchair bound photographer, who broke his leg in a auto accident. Jeff (Stewart) is so bored he takes to rear window watching & sees the salesman (Raymond Burr)go out three time on a rainy night carrying a suitcase. The next morning the salesman's wife dissapears, which arouse questions in the mind of Jeff. With his policeman friend, Doyle saying everything that happened has a reasonable explination, Jeff, along with his girlfriend Lisa (Kelly), & nurse Stella (Ritter) decide to solve the case by themselves. The film was considered to provocative by critics, but at the same time they praised Hitch for his classic masterpiece
