REVIEWS:

ANOTHER ROGER EBERT REVIEW:

"Rear Window lovingly invests in suspense all through the film,
banking it in our memory, so that when the final payoff arrives,
the whole film has been the thriller equivalent of foreplay."

-- Roger Ebert; February 20, 2000

SISKEL & EBERT:

"The boorish but fascinating pastime of peeking into other
people's homes...is used by Director Alfred Hitchcock to impel
a tense and exciting exercise in his new melodrama, 'Rear Window'. ....
Mr. Hitchcock is nobody's greenhorn. When he takes on a stunt of
this sort...he may be counted on to pull it with a maximum of build-up
to the punch, a maximum of carefully tricked deception and incidents
to divert and amuse. This time he does it with precision."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; August 5, 1954
