Arguably his finest film, it was not available for years until Hitchcock's estate was resolved in 1983, when it was re-released. From the intimate, voyeuristic subject - to the absolute perfection of Grace Kelly as she hops over the balcony railing in her coctail dress - to the creepy surprise of Raymond Burr whom most people only knew as Perry Mason. Roger Ebert says of the re-release, "The experience is not so much like watching a movie, as like ... well, like spying on your neighbors. Hitchcock traps us right from the first....And because Hitchcock makes us accomplices in Stewart's voyeurism, we're along for the ride."
“Intended as entertainment in 1954, [Rear Window] is now revealed as art. ‘Rear Window’ lovingly invests in suspense all through the film, banking it in our memory, so that when the final payoff arrives, the whole film has been the thriller equivalent of foreplay.” – Roger Ebert
