My Review
This was one of Hitchcock's masterpieces. I was immediately wrapped into this movie...it captured me and allowed me to feel the tension building slowly until the terrifying climax. James Stewart is wonderful and as loveable as always. And Grace Kelly...omg, Grace Kelly is so stunning as Jefferies' girlfriend. Many people may be turned off by the fact this film almost exclusively takes place from Jefferies' apartment, but I really could feel just how "trapped" he had to feel. I give this a full 5 Stars for the great acting, incredible suspense, and true Hitchcockian feel this movie delivers.
