Review of Rear Window (1954) by William Brogdon for Variety — 03 Sep 1999
Hitchcock confines all of the action to this single setting and draws the nerves to the snapping point in developing the thriller phases of the plot. He is just as skilled in making use of lighter touches in either dialog or situation to relieve the tension when it nears the unbearable.
Interest never wavers during the 112 minutes of footage.
