Rear Window
"One of the most enthralling thrillers ever made."

James Stewart is holed up in his apartment with a bust leg and, out of boredom, watches the windows of the building opposite. He thinks a murder might have been committed.

Thus begins one of the most enthralling thrillers ever made. Grace Kelly plays his dutiful girlfriend and Raymond Burr the man with a terrible secret.
