Customer Reviews

Hey Lars, where are you going with that suitcase in your hand?

It is a hot evening in an apartment complex. There is no air-conditioning, and the open windows invite self-consciousness about voyeurs. L.B. 'Jeff' Jeffries (James Stewart) is wheelchair-bound and bored. So, for entertainment, he gets out his high-powered binoculars to see what the neighbors across the courtyard, who conveniently leave their blinds open, are up to. Naturally, he must make up scenarios about what he thinks he is seeing. The shocker is that he believes he spotted a neighbor, Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), dispatching and disposing of his spouse. He adamantly tells his girlfriend and eventually the authorities. Naturally, there is no forthcoming evidence despite the incessant snooping of his girlfriend, Lisa Carol Fremont (Grace Kelly). Could be that he was wrong in his assumption. Or will Lars get Jeff and the little dog, too? This is a typical Alfred H-i-t-c-h-c-o-c-k movie. That this is typical is not to say that it is not great, and lots of fun to watch. We see more than our share of great actors, including the Princess of Monaco when she was just Grace Kelly, and Raymond Burr in one of his few dark character personas.
