Continuing my foray into classic cinema, this was my 3rd Hitchcock film. I really liked the decision to frame almost the entire film from Jeff's apartment, as this really puts the viewer into the action. I'm also gaining more and more respect for Jimmy Stewart as an actor, after getting over the slightly comical aspect of his thick accent.
Although this was, overall, a very solid and well made film, I again did not feel as though it lived up to its hype. Neither the promised "shocking ending" or the power to hold up to its title as one of top 50 films of all time really matierialized for me. I'm sure it was groundbreaking and shocking in its day but it just wasn't a film I could get excited about. Still a solid piece of classic cinema though.
