Review of Rear Window

Rear Window (1954)
5/10
What's the big deal?
23 February 2000
I love Hitchcocks' movies--he was undoubtedly one of the greatest directors of our time--but what's the big deal about this movie. It's well-directed (obviously) and the acting is good, but the story is predictable, the dialogue dull (except for a few of Thelma Ritter's wisecracks) and it's just plain boring! Also I can't seriously accept the fact that someone as beautiful and classy as Grace Kelly would fall in love with Stewart. He's old enough to be her father! So, I don't see why everybody loves this film, and I consider it one of Hitchcocks' lesser works.
