| | What isn't understandable... is Alfred Hitchcock's association with this enterprise... I fear that Rear Window must be taken as another example of his footless ambition to make a movie that stands absolutely still... Maybe one of these days he's going to bust out the way he used to, and then we'll have some satisfactory films. | | | | (John McCarten, New Yorker) | | Miss Lejeune, the critic of The Observer, complained... that Rear Window was a horrible film because the hero spent all of his time peeping out of the window. What's so horrible about that? Sure, he's a snooper, but aren't we all? | | | | (Alfred Hitchcock, 1966) | | I was still a working critic the first time I saw Rear Window, and I remember writing that the picture was very gloomy, rather pessimistic, and quite evil. But now I don't see it in that light at all; in fact, I feel it has a rather compassionate approach. What Stewart sees from his window is not horrible but simply a display of human weaknesses and people in pursuit of happiness. | | | | (Francois Truffaut, 1966) | | Back in 1954 when it was made .. there were mutters of distaste and disappointment at its voyeuristic implications. Thirty years later .. . the only doubt one can have... is whether in the final score it really was... the very best of Hitchcock. Rate it above Psycho, Marnie or Vertigo ? Let battle commence. | | | | (Philip Strick, Films & Filming, 1983) | | You can't help wondering, though, why a man who makes his living taking photographs and who is snooping through a telephoto lens doesn't take even one snap to confirm his story. The reason, presumably, is that such obvious logic would simply terminate the film prematurely. | | | | (Alan Frank, Frank's 500, 1997) |
