Number 3 on my Top-3 of Hitchcock's movies. 1954. Director: Alfred Hitchcock.
Jeff (James Stewart) is a professional photographer who has broken a leg and has to spend his days in a wheelchair. He passes the the time spying on his neighbours from his apartment in Greenwich Village.
Every day, he's visited by a home care nurse named Stella (Thelma Ritter). His young girlfriend Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly) also visit him, even if she doesn't do that every day. She's madly in love with him but Jeff sometimes think that their relationship is incompatible.
One night, Jeff sees what he believes is a murder. He's 100% sure that his neighbour is a murderer, but sitting in his wheelchair, there's not much he can to then keep spying and hope to find proof. But will Jeff be able to prove that he's right before getting exposed by the suspected killer?
This thriller is really exiting and a real masterpiece. It's really a spine-tingling thriller. Filled with suspense. When Grace Kelly is sneaking around in the neighbours apartment, you can't help biting your nails in the exitement.
Just like some other movies that I've seen with Grace Kelly, she's mostly walking around wearing different dresses and such. It's like she's more like a model for clothes then an actress. But she's not a bad actress either, she's just not as good as you might could think because she's so famous.
James Stewart is great, just like in 99% of his movies. He's really a splended actor. This movie wouldn't have been as good as it is without him as Jeff. His way of acting is perfect for this role.
