"We've become a race of peeping toms. What people ought to do is get outside their own house and look in for a change. Yes sir. How's that for a bit of homespun philosophy?"

Essentially perfect picture that has the right amount of comedy, drama, suspense only in the way Hitchcock can do it. He questions our own voyeuristic obsessions all the while reveling in it, supported by one of the best movie sets of all time. How could you not be stunned by the set's realization? Peering into people's lives for a few minutes? Peering into a possible murderer's life? The set is always bustling with life, yet the camera is largely confined in L.B. Jeffries' (the great Jimmy Stewart) apartment as he's recovering from a broken leg. He engages in a possible murder case as he's curious about a man's wife sudden disappearance, bringing along his love interest in Lisa Fremont (the alluring Grace Kelly), his cop buddy Detective Thomas Doyle (Wendell Corey) and his nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter). It's just highly entertaining, and it changes gears while it stays focused on the possible murder that pervades throughout most of the film. Just one of the best.
