Thelma Ritters line, “We have become a race of peeping Toms” has never seemed truer to me, as I stare at my iPad watching your faces as you stare at your screen watching Jimmy Stewart while he stares out his window watching his neighbors. “Rear Window” was ahead of its time.

This film was shot in color, like so many 50's films. The vibrant image that you see in restorations like this one is actually a lot like what the original audiences saw in the theater. We tend to have a misconception about the image quality of old films based on seeing old, time-worn prints and video copies. The fact is that old-fashioned 35mm film is equivalent in resolution to today's 2K and 4K video resolution. Remastering and restoration uncover that truth.Great reaction, btw.

That lovely dress she bought for $1100 in 1954 would be worth almost $11,000 now...  🤯    Edith Head was one of the most renowned designers in Hollywood!

Absolutely love this movie.  One of the best parts of this movie is that there is no actual soundtrack.  The "soundtrack" is the ambient noise of the neighborhood.  This is seriously my favorite Hitchcock movie.

It's a good thing  Raymond Burr knows a good lawyer who never lost a case. Perry Mason

When Thorwald discovers who's watching him, that was one of the great moments in film history.

Thelma Ritter. You can't NOT love her. She has the best lines in the movie.

Such a fantastic film, one of my favorites. I've always felt like this movie was a film about relationships (every window represents a different variation of what Jeff and Lisa could be), wrapped in a murder-mystery. Though, I never believe anyone could resist "perfect" Grace Kelly in this movie. I always yell at the screen, "It's Grace Kelly, you moron!" Her introduction is my favorite cinema screen kiss of all time.

That set was built on a soundstage! One of the largest sets ever built.<br>When you don't have air conditioning, a night on the fire escape is refreshing.

The man in the background of the man playing the piano is Hitchcock himself. He always plays a cameo in all of his films (a bit like Stan Lee in the MCU).

The scene where Thorwald looks directly at the camera is famous, but to me the most chilling moment is after the dog is killed, and all the neighbors are at their windows to see what 's going on...except Thorwald. His window is dark, until you see his cigar, flashing in the dark.
