Attention people, it is better to sneak in food then to pay bullshit to retard prices for just food. Although, it is 1954, the prices for everything is CHEAP!!! And I brung 5 bucks with me!!! I'm the richest man alive.

computer to type a blog post about the film.)
Rear Windows, a 1954 suspense film by the amazing director, Alfred Hitchcock. The film was created solely in Paramount Pictures’ Studio. The screen writers are Cornell Woolrich and John Michael Hayes who work with Robert Burks, the cinemato-grapher, and George Tomasini, the film editor.
The story is about Jeffries, played by James Stewart, recovering from a severe injury to nearly half his body. He is wheel chair bound living in an apartment called Greenwich Village. He really has nowhere to go and thus spends his time looking outside the window. It was his television of entertainment to view a hot young lady dancing in her underwear who he calls Miss Torso, a woman who lives alone who he calls Miss Lonely-Hearts, a songwriter who plays the piano, married couples, a mysterious salesman with a in home wife.
He sees their life and their many actions as days go by, however one night, he sees the salesman making late night trips. He tells Stella, the home care nurse who is played by Thelm Ritter, about the odd trips and then later tells Lisa Fremont, who is played by Grace Kelly. At first the thought it was nothing to be troubled by, but after careful spying, all three characters soon to give interest and wonder what happen to the salesman’s wife.
Jeffries calls a detective, who also happens to be his friend, Doyle, played by Wendel Corey, about it and asks if he can do an investigation. There wasn’t much he can work from considering there was a long process before a warrant to search the salesmen’s apartment was signed and made. With no help from proper authorities, they decide to take action and solve the mystery themselves.
The music is pretty dynamic with the movie. From the beginning to the end, all the major background music smoothly transitions between each other to create a setting that is understandable when the time arrives. The music composer is Franz Waxman.
The scene work is really creative among the little space they used in creating the apartments. The way they set up all the apartments is to give our main character, as well as the audience, a chance to see every character in their living style through large windows which are sometimes covered with curtains.
The costume design is by Edith Head. The costumes are really just ordinary everyday clothing that is used in a day by day basis. Lisa was the only one who had somewhat of the high class clothing during the time with wide variety of fancy and unique style of dresses.
The pace of the movie lives up the title of suspense. It was slow enough to understand the film and fast enough to grasp the desire of all the characters needs and wants.
Overall, I enjoyed watching this movie. I’ve never actually seen Alfred Hitchcock’s work, only heard of him, but now I am interested in what other films he has created. The story was believable and the acting was perfect. Finally, it’s funny how a hunch can go so far into solving a murder mystery.
