I told you more Hitchcock films were incoming! Well, just this one for now until I get a stockpile of them from friends and/or the library. James Stewart and Grace Kelly star in this thriller as L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries and Lisa, respectively. Jeff is confined to a wheel chair for 7 weeks after an accident left him with a broken leg, and as a hobby has taken up watching the goings-on outside his apartment window. He learns about all the people he can see, and begins to get suspicious of Mr. Thorwald who one rainy night leaves his house 3 times with a large suitcase each time. He first confides in his masseuse-friend Stella who tells him to quit being a peeping tom, and then to Lisa, who says the same thing. The two eventually become as interested in the happenings with Mr. Thorwald, and are bent on giving away his secret.
I didn't like this one as much as Dial "M" for Murder, but it was still amazing. I really enjoy all the twists and turns that keep you guessing the whole time. I haven't seen a movie do that in a while. Thanks Alfred! You're a real swell guy.
