Alfred Hitchcock at his absolute best. James Stewart stands out while sitting down as a news photographer temporarily confined to his apartment and a wheelchair, forced by boredom to amuse himself by spying on the neighbors. Then he begins to suspect that one of them committed murder. As he and his girlfriend (Grace Kelly) begin to investigate, it slowly dawns on us that they’re getting into some pretty dangerous territory (something they don’t realize until it’s almost too late). Hitchcock uses this story to examine voyeurism, urban alienation, and the institution of marriage, and to treat his audience to a great entertainment.
