Rear Window (1954)
I know it’s an extremely famous movie, but Rear Window completely personifies why I don’t like Alfred Hitchcock movies. It’s so slow!
James Stewart, in his handsome silver fox stage, is confined to his wheelchair for the duration of the movie. He’s a go-getter photographer who broke his leg during a daring stunt, and he’s bored out of his skull doing nothing but stare out the window at the neighbors in the apartment building across the way. Then again, how bored can he be? He can read, watch television, write, work on a photography portfolio, fool around with his girlfriend Grace Kelly, and exchange barbs with his caretaker Thelma Ritter. Still, he’s bored. Then one day, he witnesses a murder. . .
I love James Stewart, but his sparkly blue eyes and flattering silver hair isn’t enough to save the movie. Grace Kelly isn’t given anything to do but give Jimmy suggestively naughty looks (that he’s more than happy to return), but she looks beautiful. They had an amusing non-affair during the filming. Mrs. Stewart famously accompanied her husband to the set every day, just in case; and Grace declared Jimmy one of the most attractive men she’d ever met (probably because she couldn’t have him!). If you think you’ll like it, go ahead and rent the classic. Just be prepared that it’s extremely slow.
