Rear Window (1954)


Grace Kelly was beautiful! And, she is in this movie!

If this isn’t enough for you to rush to the telly and watch this movie, let me tell you that it is direct by non other than the great cock, Hitchcock.

A photographer is stuck at home with a cast on his broken leg. To spend his time he watches the daily routines of his neighbours. But one day someone disappears and he starts to suspect that a murder has occurred. How will this mystery unveil? Remember he can’t move and can only see what is watchable from his rear window.

This is a great great movie, full of intensity and thrill. I have to say that this has to be one of Hitch best movies. If you have any shred of movie lover in you, you have to watch this movie and love it for all eternity.

I have to go now, and light my candle to Hitch.

Trivia – In 1955 Grace Kelly won the Oscar for best actress in a leading role. But it wasn’t for her interpretation on “Rear Window”, it was for “The Country Girl” (1954). And Hitchcock missed the Oscar which went to Elia Kazan for “In the Waterfront” (1954) the movie that took the Oscars like a storm and got 8 Oscars and was nominated for 4 more.

Rating: 8.5/10
