Portable Keyhole

Rear Window (Hitchcock, 1954)

Everyone should watch Rear Window (Hitchcock, 1954).
Apart from being a classic and one of Hitchcock's best films, it also has wonderful sets, incredible cinematography, AND is still thought provoking sixty six years later!

There is one line in particular that stuck in my mind after tonights viewing. The nurse (pictured in the floral frock) refers to the camera through which her client "observes" his neighbours, as a 'portable keyhole'...and I love that idea because we are all voyeurs when we look at the world through a camera.

Don't you think?
