Alfred Hitchcock didn’t invent the internet, but it’s fascinating to watch James Stewart’s laid-up photographer sit on his ass and gawk at other people’s lives through a proliferation of open windows. It’s just one of the many ways the maestro’s voyeuristic thriller continues to give and surprise year after year, and continues to rival Vertigo for his ultimate masterpiece.
1954 Alfred Hitchcock 1.37:1 Color DCP 112 min.
