About this movie

None of Hitchcock's films has ever given a clearer view of his genius for suspense than Rear Window. When professional photographer L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries (James Stewart) is confined to a wheelchair with a broken leg, he becomes obsessed with watching the private dramas of his neighbors play out across the courtyard. When he suspects a salesman may have murdered his nagging wife, Jeffries enlists the help of his glamorous socialite girlfriend (Grace Kelly) to investigate the highly suspicious chain of events... Events that ultimately lead to one of the most memorable and gripping endings in all of film history.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic thriller which is shot in a such a mesmerising way.We are trapped with James stewarts character as he is stuck in his apartment living room due to a broken leg. The camera work and set design as on point and Hitchock delivers a brilliant sense of tension. I preferred this is to the also exceptional Vertigo.

A good movie but not as good as Vertigo in my opinion.

Beautifuly, directed and perfectly acted. Builds the tention well.
