Rear Window

Rear Window (1954) is an Alfred Hitchcock movie starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelley.  It is by far my favorite Hitchcock movie and still as gripping today as when I first saw it.  Jimmy Stewart plays a convalescing photographer who thinks he witnesses a terrible event though he can't prove it.  The entire movie takes place from his room.  The story is compelling while the acting superb.  While the movie takes place you are witness to life in the 50's as seen from one apartment to others, and without air-conditioning being common the windows and lives of others are open for all to see.
