Tense Alfred Hitchcock thriller (remade in 1998 with Christopher Reeve) about a press photographer who, housebound with his leg in plaster, becomes obsessed with the notion that his neighbour across the way (a white-haired Raymond Burr in pre-Perry Mason and Ironside days) has done away with his wife. Besides the mounting suspense (notably of the 'will they or won't they get away with investigations before the suspect comes back to catch them? ' variety), there's the famous love scene where Hitch's camera circles hero James Stewart and girlfriend Grace Kelly as they kiss. All this plus prime performances from Stewart (no mean feat to achieve such emotion and conviction in such an immobile role) and from sandpaper-voiced Thelma Ritter as his nurse. John Michael Hayes and Hitchcock were Oscar-nominated for screenplay and direction.
