This has been my favourite movie since I was 13 or so, its so simple. I love that the whole movie takes place in one neighborhood. It keeps you on edge throughout, and you never get bored. It has alot of interesting characters, Hitchcock does a great job of giving us a little bit of a story on each neighbor. This is a film that everyone needs to watch at least once. Theres some cool shots, and theres Grace Kelly... that basically speaks for itself, she is beautiful and sweet, and fits her character so well. I love the ending, it seems like the neighborhood is so much better after the murder is solved, everybody in the neighborhood is better off, the lonely lady gets with the musician, the dog lady gets a new dog (her old one is killed) and James Stewart's character has two newly broken legs. But my favourite part is when Grace Kelly looks to have changed her persona to try to fit in with Stewart's character's profession, but when he falls asleep, she pulls out the fasion magazine. I love this movie. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing, Director, Cinematography, and Sound. Again, this movie will hold you throughout, you are interested from the begining to the end, Alfred Hitchcock legend grows. I dont do this often, only for the great films...... 10 out of 10
