One of the best parts about living in New York is being a "peeping Tom."
Admit it. You've done it. You can't help it. You're in such close proximity. And it's not even about "catching" people doing something, it's about being a voyeur on their everyday lives; brushing teeth, washing dishes, the basic, monotonous stuff.
That's what gets Jimmy Stewart intrigued as he is wheelchair-bound recovering from a broken leg. During the flick, the characters raise the ethical question of looking through other people's windows.
And even though Jimmy Stewart has pretty much the same mannerisms in every film I've seen of his, he's still great :-)
This one came to me via Netflix recommendations and I have to say it was spot on.
A Hitchcock thriller in the tradition of Vertigo, I really enjoyed the suspense, the dialogue (fun to watch how gender attitudes have changed over time) and how the mystery unfolded.
