Description
As a photographer with a broken leg, Stewart takes up the fine art of spying on his Greenwich Village neighbors during a summer heat wave. Things really begin to get hot when he suspects a salesman may have murdered his nagging wife and buried the body in a flower garden. He actively enlists the help of his girlfriend to investigate the highly suspicious chain of events. Events that ultimately lead to one of the most memorable and gripping endings in film history.

A man with a broken leg takes an unhealthy interest in his neighbors.
I was never really with the characters; my prediction of how things would turn out tended to be the opposite of theirs at any given time, which means the suspense didn't work for me.

Alfred Hitchcock's glorious ode to pervy voyeurism. Jimmy Stewart gets kinky, Grace Kelly looks voluptuous and Thelma Ritter does the wise cracks.The dog digging in the dirt and Raymond Burr's menace are great.
