"'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, Chicago Sun-Times

"Its appeal, which goes beyond that of other, equally masterly Hitchcock works, remains undiminished."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times

PLUS, on the same double feature:

ROPE
1948, USA, 80 minutes, 35mm, Universal

"Technical merits aside, the picture's real sparkplug is Stewart. The actor single-handedly electrifies the film with his stellar performance as a suspicious college professor."
- Patrick Legare, Allmovie.com

"Rope is not merely a stunt that is justified by the extraordinary career that contains it, but one of the movies that makes that career extraordinary."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times
