Review
Rear Window (Dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1954): Alfred Hitchcock amply
demonstrates why he's been called "The Master of Suspense" with this both
witty and macabre tale of voyeurism and murder starring two of cinema's
all-time favourites, James Stewart and Grace Kelly.
L. B.Jeffries (Stewart), a photographer with a broken leg, takes up the fine
art of spying on his Greenwich Village neighbours during a summer heat wave.
But things really hot up when he suspects one neighbour of murdering his
invalid wife and burying the body in a flower garden.
High Noon (Dir. Fred Zinnemann, 1952): Gary Cooper is Hollywood's
perfect hero, the very embodiment of integrity and grace in this greatest of
Westerns. As a newly married town marshal, he must balance an innate sense
of justice and duty with loyalty to his beautiful new--and pacifist--bride
when he is left by an ungrateful town to face a gang of deadly outlaws
alone. As we watch spellbound, film time is real time as the showdown grows
ever closer. High Noon is a masterpiece that is frequently
interpreted as a parable about artists left to "stand alone" and face
persecution during the HUAC Hollywood blacklisting. However, Howard Hawks
allegedly devised Rio Bravo as an answer to the film's "wimpiness,"
and John Wayne once declared High Noon as un-American--he was
apparently offended by the ending of the film, which shows Sheriff Kane
removing his badge and tossing it in the dirt.
Grace Kelly Story - Documentary: A documentary looking at the life
and career of Grace Kelly. Available on DVD for the first time.
