Film 32 "Rear Window" IMDB No. 21

You'd think the rain would've cooled things down. All it did was make the heat wet.


1954 Alfred Hitchcock
This is a classic, why have I never watched any of the classic ones before?
Jeff Jeffries (great name) is an action photographer who is forced to stay at home after breaking his leg, all he has to do is look out of the rear window of his appartment in New York observing the lives of all the people in the neighbouring appartments. After a time he becomes convinced that one of the neighbours has killed their wife but not being able to leave his appartment he can't prove it, so he enlists the help of his nurse and girlfriend.
If you haven't seen it, you should, it's a perfect rainy afternoon film. They don't make them like this anymore.
7/10
