Rear Window (1954)
Another Hitchcock classic.
This fascinating, fast-moving film is about our natural inclination to pry — whether online, or, back in the day, into our neighbor’s windows. Jimmy Stewart plays a news photographer sidelined by a broken leg who doesn’t appreciate what a seemingly perfect thing he has going with Lisa (a luminous Grace Kelly, above).
He ponders single life, represented by the ballet dancer Miss Torso (Georgine Darcy) and the sometimes grim compromises of co-habitation. It’s now available on the Criterion Channel.
