not only one of the best hitchcock films but one of the best films of the thriller genre, technically fantastic even to this day, this film keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, recent film disturbia was very good but doesnt hold a candle to this and doesnt even aknowledge that its a remake! anyway fantastic direction, fantastic acting, gorgeous leading lady in grace kelly and a fantastic film, i hope this review gets you to check this film out, trust me you wont be disapointed!

James Stewart sitting in a wheelchair with a broken leg for approximately 2 hours sounded almost torturous to watch but as it happened it was one of those movies that kept you interested throughout.
The way the movie was filmed from James Stewarts window, looking in on his neighbours was unusual but extremely effective.
This film has made me go online and order more Hitchcock films.

James Stewart is L.B Jeffries, a famous photographer who cannot leave his apartment because of a broken leg and with nothing to do but look out of the window all day he soon discovers there is more to his neighbours than first meets the eye... With the help of his nurse Stella played by Thelma Ritter and girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) he sets out to solve a murder.
