A professional photographer (Jimmy Stewart), confined to a wheelchair in his Greenwich Village apartment after an accident is attended by a nurse (Thelma Ritter) and his friend (Grace Kelly), becomes obsessed with his neighbors, who include, perhaps, a murderer … A stunning work of formal inventiveness, mystery and, yes, romance. (U.S., 1954, 115m)
“One of those rare films without imperfection or weakness … each scene by itself is a gamble that has been won … It is rare to find such a precise idea of the world in a film.” –Francois Truffaut
