July 20 - "Rear Window" Alfred Hitchcock created a claustrophobic masterpiece with his 1954 picture, “Rear Window.” James Stewart stars as a man confined to a wheelchair in his apartment who thinks he may have witnessed a murder. Grace Kelly is the skeptical girlfriend that finds herself being drawn in to the mystery. Thelma Ritter plays Stewart’s nurse, full of black humor, and Raymond Burr is the heavy.
Hitch utilizes the technique of silent film to tell the story visually on more than one occasion in this film, which invites the audience to join Stewart in his voyeuristic exploits. A classic suspense film from the master! 112 minutes, Rated PG.
