Rear Window Review

Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock was produced in 1954 and starred James Stewart and Grace Kelly among others. James played a character named Jeff Jefferies who’s stuck at home in a wheelchair and finds himself spending his time spying on neighbors. All of his spying has him convinced one night there was a murder that took place and he needs to find out what happened. This is when Grace, who plays Lisa steps in and helps him find out the mystery. James plays his character very well with facial expressions and tone of voice.  Also, Hitchcock does a marvelous job with panning of the camera. Scenes are memorable such as viewing the apartments or when James spies on his neighbors. It almost makes me want to know more about all the other neighbors. I very much enjoyed this film due to the character development and story line. It was very catchy and I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.
