Premise
A crippled man suspects his neighbor is a murderer.
Who should watch
Alfred Hitchcock and James Stewart fans.
Thoughts
Yet another great Hitchcock film. The strength here was the smart, realistic characters with snappy (and really funny) dialogue. I forgot it was a suspense film as I just enjoyed the characters and their banter, but slowly and surely the mystery and suspense sneaked and pounced.
Director wannabes should watch this multiple times. Once again Hitchcock put himself into a great technical challenge by filming everything in one studio. You will not notice it the first time, for you will be swept by the characters and story.
What I would change
Nothing
