Watch Rear Window (1954) Online

One of Hitchcock's greatest masterpieces, "Rear Window" is a deep and entertaining classic with many strengths, and a little bit of everything. A fine suspense story is combined with romantic tension in the main plot, and there are numerous sub-plots, some humorous and some moving, all with many psychological overtones. The main characters are wonderfully portrayed and full of life. The apparently simple setting in an apartment complex is developed into a world filled with intriguing and sometimes unsettling possibilities, and this apparently average neighborhood comes to life with a wealth of lavish visual detail and interesting minor characters.

It is the kind of film-making that (like many of Hitchcock's greatest movies) is very flattering to the viewer. The director assumes that his audience will pay close enough attention to appreciate the many subtleties with which he has filled the movie. It rewards both careful attention and repeated viewings, since there is much more here than merely a suspense plot, as good as that story is in itself.

Hitchcock was mainly interested in doing this movie because of the technical challenge in doing a purely cinematic picture but along the way while working on the script more importance was attached to the story itself. The idea of an immobilized man Jeff Jeffries (James Stewart) looking out of his window showing what he sees and then how he reacts. He called it the purest expression of a cinematic idea.

The movie reveals every kind of human behavior in a small universe portrayed in a group of little stories. Hitchcock's movie Rear Window has a wonderfully created (studio) set, a script that is larded with countless memorable lines and a magnificent ensemble cast with Grace Kelly as Jeffries' girl-friend, who's more beautiful than ever, Thelma Ritter as the sarcastic nurse and Raymond Burr as the malevolent salesman.

Sculpture's unveiling triumphs over weather
Getting to the Colorado History Museum for the unveiling of sculptor Ed Dwight's "Inauguration of Hope" was a real struggle. It was snowing, roads were slippery, temperatures were in the single digits; all in all, a night better suited for staying in than going out.
