The review of this Movie prepared by Angela Allan




Alfred Hitchcock's riveting movie. After a work related accident, apopular magazine photographer (stewart) is injured and put in a leg cast. The entire movie takes place inside of Stewarts small apartment as he watches the people around him. Grace Kelly is elegant as his doting girlfriend.
Outstanding acting performances by everyone, and a brilliant commentary of big city apartment dwellers. A beautiul movie, one of the best ever made
