Rear Window

Pros: Grace Kelly radiates. The suspense will save you money on fingernail clippers.

Cons: There are those who actually say this movie is boring!

The Bottom Line: And all this time, I thought they were talking about the Rear Window of a car.

Review: In the same year that my mother was born, Rear Window was also born. Rear Window is one of many films directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, with whom I am about as familiar as I am the back of Clark Gable's hand. I saw ...

Pros: Stewart and Kelly. Very entertaining movie.

Cons: None for me. Might be too slow for some viewers.

The Bottom Line: Rear Window is one of the best movies that Alfred Hitchcock made. His fans should like this movie.

Review: I love suspenseful movies when they are done well. I think Alfred Hitchcock was a master at creating well done suspenseful movies. I have seen and enjoyed many of his movies and even own a few on DVD. Rear Window< b>< i> is one of my favorites of ...

Pros: Unendurable suspense, Hitchcock's trademark wit and Grace Kelly at her finest hour--I'd peep in on this one any time!

Cons: A couple of bothersome POV "cheats" break the rules Hitchcock's established

Review: Alfred Hitchcock brought America's living rooms into the theater with his 1954 white-knuckler Rear Window. Appealing to the Peeping Tom in every Dick and Jane, Hitch put audiences squarely in the voyeur's seat (or, in this case, wheelchair).
...

Pros: Hitchcock's production, great cast

Cons: Nothing Major

The Bottom Line: Essential Viewing: Rear Window is a Hitchcock classic. Through a clever script, production set, and editing we get an ingenious suspense movie.

Review: One of my goals for some time now has been to cover all the widely considered classics. Obviously these movies have been ubiquitously covered and talked about in the past so I’m going to change the format on classics a little. Please let me know if ...

Pros: Hitchcock's stylish direction, clever humourous touches

Cons: Why is Thorwald so obvious?

The Bottom Line: Hitch peers behind the dull facade of everyday life.

Review: Nearly fifty years after its initial release, "Rear Window" remains one of the Master's best and most famous films. Only Hitchcock could devise a mystery seen entirely from the point of view of a man surveying the scenery from his apartment window and ma ...

Pros: Generally in the top dozen or so of the best movies ever.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: Deservedly appears in Top 50 of the Century lists.

Review: Recently I turned 21, and at 21 I was disgusted that I'd never seen Casablanca or Citizen Kane or even a Hitchcock movie. So I expressed my displeasure at my oldest friend and we decided since everyone in Brisbane (and that's ...

Pros: Palpable suspense...

Cons: None

Review: I think Hitchcock said it all when he was asked if he were to make one more film, what would it be like? He stated, "It would have a murder...with suspense, lots of lovely costumes, beautiful actors...and a joke or two." This is the formula...

Pros: deceptively important in Hitch's canon

Cons: few

The Bottom Line: A deceptively elucidative text that clarifies Hitchcock's late masterpieces.

Review: One of Hitchcock’s most popular and least examined films, Rear Window has recently received a nice re-release on DVD and brought with it an issue that I find to be interesting in regards to the major schools of thought concerning the film. On the...

Pros: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, everything else

Cons: nothing off the top of my head

The Bottom Line: Rear Window is without a doubt Alfred Hitchcock’s best motion picture of his career, if not the best of the 1950s

Review: Based on the Cornell Woolrich short story ‘It Had to be Murder’ (penned under the name William Irish), director Alfred Hitchcock takes his long-time obsession with sexual voyeurism to an entirely new level. This time it revolves around a man left ...

Pros: simple story, great camera shots, good acting

Cons: a little slow in the beginning

The Bottom Line: A fine film featuring a beautifully simplistic story, good acting, and wonderful cinematography.

Review: One of the greatest things about Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is that it manages to keep its plot at a minimum. The film is so beautifully simple that I was quite surprised how much I really liked the film. Rear Window does not try to constantly scare ...
