Written by John Michael Hayes and Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr
Alfred Hitchcock Movie Rear Window: L.B. Jeffries (James Stewart) A bored wheelchair bound photographer
becomes a peeping tom and believes one of his neighbors Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr) killed his wife!
Hellacious Movies Review: This was the first time I had seen a "Peeping Tom" depicted as
a fine upstanding young man! Normally they are presented as seedy low lifes! Truth is there is
an element of "Voyeuristic" tendencies in all of us! Movies once satisfied this need, nowadays
"Reality Shows" give us that up close and personal glimpse into other peoples lives!
REAR WINDOW is a CLASSIC! And Alfred Hitchcock is the TRUE Master of Suspense!
If I had rated this movie back in the day when I had first seen it, I would have given it 5 stars! However
after revisiting REAR WINDOW last night I am only able to give it 3 Stars! Tastes evolve I guess! ;-)
