When the two of you realized that you had become the nosy neighbors yourselves was the best 😂
Exactly, I laughed because Hitchcock was criticizing people being voyeurs and putting their noses into other people's business. But the whole art form of movies is showing other people's lives so every viewer is being a voyeur.
that was the best part!
That's what makes it so cool when he sees Jeff and looks right at the camera. We have all been caught
@@MJoy4Fun I've turned into a "Mrs Kravitz" myself ... www.google.com/search?q=bewitched+nosy+neighbour&rlz=1C1GCEA_enCA980CA980&oq=Bewitched+nosy+neighbour&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyCAgBEAAYFhgeMggIAhAAGBYYHjIICAMQABgWGB4yCAgEEAAYFhgeMggIBRAAGBYYHjIICAYQABgWGB4yCggHEAAYhgMYigUyCggIEAAYhgMYigUyCggJEAAYhgMYigXSAQk4NjUyajFqMTWoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:578cd553,vid:Ojc7ioTZJ2g
The opening shot of Grace Kelly is one of the most beautiful in film with one of the most beautiful woman ever.
I can't believe she became a princess!
"We are like gossiping neighbors", that's exactly why I enjoy this movie so much!
Thelma Ritter is one of the greatest character actors of all time. She always adds sass to a movie. Love her!!
She is funny in Pillow Talk.
Starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson
@@tammierandall864 … and Tony Randall 🍸 (any relation? )
@@janescribner8258 no
Grace Kelly won an Oscar for best actress this same year. ( different movie)
2 years later ,she gave up her career in order to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco. She became Princess Grace of Monaco.
HItchcock had a thing for blondes and she looks amazingly beautiful in this movie. When he wakes and she's floating down to kiss him as if in a dream... just glamorous. Old Hollywood movies knew how to light and film actresses for beauty shots. Nowadays, it's much more naturalistic lighting so that art has been lost. Sadly, she passed away in a car crash at the early age of only 52.
Part of what makes the story possible is that 1954 was just before most people in New York City got window air conditioners, which allows you to close the windows and pull the curtains. I lived in Jackson Heights, Queens until 1966 and I don't remember having any ac units.
At the end of the movie, Lisa is wearing jeans and a plain red shirt, not a designer gown. But she still reads her high fashion magazine. She is meeting Jeff half way. BTW, sales of jeans may have increased after this movie's release.
This movie has always been one of my favorite suspense/thriller movies. One of the best movies that is always overlooked and very underrated and with great actors. Is Wait Until Dark. Starring Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin and Richard Crenna. It was made in 1967. It was great thriller.😊
This movie is only overlooked by people under forty. Hitchcock was considered to be, arguably, the greatest director in existence.
MJoy would *love* Wait Until Dark, so much! Took me 6 months of pestering CasualNerdReactions to get him to watch it.
Stephen King says it's one of the scariest films of all time!
@@gggooding Hello. I agree with you I think they would really like it. I'm a little sad. I looked on the internet and I found out Alan Arkin died this last June and I didn't even hear about it on the news.
@@larindanomikos Hello. I was talking about Wait Until Dark. Hitchcock did not direct it.
@@gggooding okay guys.,... that movie is added on our list!
Another old but classic movie is "North by Northwest" starring Cray Grant. He also starred in "To catch a Thief" from same time.
"North by Northwest" Is the most entertaining Hitchcock Film if not the "Best"!
@@jamesalexander5623 we will watch it too!
Dial M for Murder please! 😅
James Stewart has the cast on his left leg, and had leading role as the father from the movie, It's A Wonderful Life and tons of other movies.
Love it when you react to old classic films!
we will do more
Thelma Ritter [Stella] is great check her out in All About Eve ,another classic with Bette Davis. thanks for another entertaining reaction.
And "Pillow Talk" ... corny movie by Thelma Ritter cracks-me-up!!!
thank you so much 🥰
If you like simplicity with suspense and interesting character dynamics, I highly recommend two other Hitchcock films: Lifeboat 1944, and Rope 1948. Just like Rear Window, everything happens within a single set. Great reaction guys!
Yes. Too few people acknowledge "Lifeboat," which is a great movie.
Good choices but I prefer dial M for murder myself.
My fav Hitchcock is probably Vertigo
Rope is such an underrated movie, it’s often overlooked when people talk about Hitchcock movies. And the fact that it was filmed in several long scenes with no cuts. When the camera was running out of film, the camera would zoom in on a dark surface, the film was changed, and the shot resumed. It was also one of the first mainstream movies to feature gay characters (they never actually say the murders are gay but it’s obvious from their interactions). Another underrated Hitchcock I’d Shadow of a Doubt, filmed in Santa Rosa CA. But my favorite Hitchcock is Rebecca
@@thomasbradley4505 Or for that matter, "The Lady Vanishes" or "Marnie."
we will probably do more of his film
So glad y’all are doing these wonderful classic films! One of my favorite Hitchcock stories, along with “North by Northwest” & “To Catch a Thief”. (When Grace Kelly first appears…oh, that close up, she still takes my breath away. Such exquisite beauty, class & charm. Back in a time when that was more common in women than not)
(2:17) Of course you know Jimmy Stewart, Marion. Remember George Bailey, the main character from It's A Wonderful Life?
Really really good to be made 50 years ago and had you two showing lots of emotions. It's great.
This movie shows how literally a lot of strange things can be happening right outside our windows.
The composer/musician/piano player is Ross Bagdasarian who created Alvin and The Chipmunks.
And of course the killer is Raymond Burr, tv’s greatest attorney, Perry Mason.
James Stewart was a big star who did lots of films, including three other Hitchcock films (Vertigo, Rope, and The Man Who Knew Too Much). Yes he was in Harvey and It’s A Wonderful Life. Other films of his include The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, and Anatomy Of A Murder.
Plus, a lot of people seem to forget , that he made a lot of good/great westerns like the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and many others.
"Wait Until Dark" (1967) starring Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin is a suspenseful film you might enjoy. It's not Hitchcock, but it's solid genre go-to for me when the mood strikes. : )
we will do this movie! based on your comment and others.. Joy is excited for it!
@MJoy4Fun the last few minutes are intense!!! And will have you on the edge!!!
I spent an afternoon watching a Hitchcock marathon on a classic movie channel which is when I first saw this movie. It is so good. Jimmy Stewart was such a good actor.
FUN FACTOID: Like Stephen King (Actually, it's the other way around), Alfred Hitchcock likes to make cameo appearances in his own movies. He can be seen winding the clock on the mantle at the 07:40 mark in the film.
One of the greatest suspense movies ever made is "Blow Out" from 1982 Very highly recommend.
No one had air conditioning. That's why all the windows were open and some were sleeping on the fire escape.
Jimy Stewart was a BIG Hollywood star. Starlette Grace Kelly became the Princess of Monaco
Watching movies with you two is so much fun!!!
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it
Fun fact: The actors in the apartments wore flesh colored earpieces so Hitchcock could direct them and they could get their cues.
Alfred Hitchcock liked to make little cameos in his films, so there he is a 7:43 into your video, standing behind the pianist.
The great Thelma Ritter (Stella) has the distinction of having been nominated 6 times as Best Supporting Actress, though she never won. She was always a delight.
Sailing! My Mom and her husband had a 35’ up on the lake for years and years until he passed away a couple years ago, sailing
was their enjoyment for 30 years, great movie! My favorite Hitchcock is North by Northwest but they are all so good, always love the vibrant colors and how well everyone is dressed in his movies, thanks
Hitchcock actually built an apartment building as the set for this movie. Some of the actors even lived in the "apartments" during the filming.
The composer was played by Ross Bagdasarian, who (among other things) created Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Raymond Burr, who played Lars Thorwald, was one of the first celebrities to have his own winery. Raymond Burr Vineyards still exists in Healdsburg, California, even though Burr died at the age of 76 in 1993.
You forgot to mention that Burr became famous as Perry Mason, one of the first courtroom dramas on American TV.
@@hrussell9677 Yes! In Movies he was always a Bad Guy .... On TV he's always the Good Guy!
@@hrussell9677 And Ironsides.
This is my favorite Hitchcock film. Love it! Great reactions!
thank you
Another fun movie is Charade, it is like a Hitchcock movie. Stars Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.
A great courtroom drama/suspense film is director Billy Wilder's "Witness for the Prosecution." Good luck guessing the end to that one.
The blonde is princess Grace, I believe. The killer is the great Raymond Burr, star in many movies and the TV shows, Perry Mason and Ironside!
Two Words, Grace Kelly.
That being said, this is a great movie with one of my all time favorite actors, the late great Jimmy Stewart, and it makes me smile/laugh, that a movie about a guy being so bored he watches other people, is now being watched by people watching other people watch a movie.
I love this movies, plese react to Vertigo 1958 with James Stewart and North by Northwest 1959, Charade 1963 with Cary Grant. This movies are fantastic. :)
I'm in the minority that finds Vertigo overrated, but the other two are eminently watchable!
In all the times I've seen this, I just now, with you guys, saw Hitch in his cameo in the composer's room for the first time. It only took some 30 years to notice.
This is my favorite movie of all time! Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly what an outstanding combination! Thanks for the amazing reaction...
Alfred Hitchcock made cameo appearances in his movies; he had to get them out of the way early so the audience could focus on the story. Here, he's the clock repairman in the songwriter's apartment.
Yet another vote for Wait Until Dark! (Its somewhat similar to Rear Window is why some of us are bring it up. And its danged *great* !)
we are sold on this one! we will probably watch this week and upload as as we can!
6:49 That woman's apartment resembles her's. It means the girl reminds her of herself because she's in love with James Stewart, not the wolves who are all over her at her apartment so she can tell that woman is also in love with someone else which we see at the end with the little short guy who enters her apartment.
What a classic - my favourite Hitchcock! And with 2 of my idols, Grace Kelly & Jimmy Stewart ❤
This is my favorite Hitchcock movie. One of the reasons is the wonderful Thelma Ritter who makes any movie she is in better.
Another Hitchcock movie staring Grace Kelly is Dial M for Murder (1954).
I think you would enjoy Charade (1963).
One of my favorite Hitchcock movies is. shadow of a doubt-very suspenseful
His name is Jimmy Stewart. He's one of the most famous and beloved actors of all time. He was in MANY great movies. If you look some of them up you will find more good reaction videos. One good one is Anatomy of a Murder. ALSO, the man who did the murder was Raymond Burr, who eventually became a VERY famous TV actor -- first as a brilliant defense lawyer, Perry Mason (EXTREMELY famous), and then as "Ironside," a clever police detective confined to a wheelchair. The glamourous woman was Grace Kelly, who eventually married the Prince of Monaco. The other woman was Thelma Ritter -- who stole every scene she was ever in, lol. I enjoyed her very much in The Misfits.
In the "rain scene', Hitchcock directed the couple that was caught on the balcony through radio earpieces. He gave them conflicting instructions to create genuine chaos.
Another great one from Hitchcock is North by Northwest.
I hope you watch more Alfred Hitchcock movies! You would love them! Don't be afraid to try his early British movies. They're all thrillers! But you can't go wrong with Hitchcock!
There is no such thing as a bad Hitchcock movie. Almost all of them became classics, and even the ones that didn’t are better than most other movies
You mentioned Harvey in your outro. Is that a coming attraction reaction? Don’t tease me! It’s a special (fantasy) film that can be an acquired taste. Very unusual for the times.
we reacted to Harvey but haven't got the chance to edit it yet 😬
Hitchcock was a genius. You had reacted to "Psycho" by him. He has many, many fantastic movies.
The villain here, Raymond Burr, spent most of his career as ultra successful lawyer Perry Mason and investigator Ironside. Obviously he reformed.
And also ironically played a detective confined to a wheelchair in Ironside.
"...there's many cases where they ktchktchktchktchktch and put it tchkachkachka and pushshshaa..." Holycow, you are an absolute hoot!!
There was a movie made in the late 90s or early 2000s with Shia LeBeouf called Disturbia. It was a loose remake of Rear Window, where Shia has to wear an ankle bracelet and can’t leave his property, but something happens to the girl next door who he has a crush on. It’s not nearly as good as Rear Window but still entertaining
You need to watch Hitchcock's other classics, "North By Northwest," "Vertigo," "The Rope," "Dial M For Murder," "Rebecca," Frenzy," "The Man Who Knew Too Much," "Notorious," and "The Birds."
Best depiction of what apartment living with nosey neighbors is like
35:05 *Joy* is right on all counts. Same actor as in _It's A Wonderful Life,_ and _Harvey,_ and same director of _Psycho._
Recommendations I make every now and again:
*_The Fisher King_* (1991) Directed by _Gilliam,_ with _Robin Williams_ & _Jeff Bridges._
*Spy Game* (2001) with *Brad Pitt* and *Robert Redford.*
*_Inside Man_* (2006) _Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster_ and _Clive Owen._ (Btw, it's also a *Spike Lee* joint.)
*Others I recommend…*
🤠 The western *_Silverado_* (1985). A *fun* western with a very young _Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Kline_ and more. Written and directed by *_Lawrence Kasdan.¹_*
Another Western worth watching IMO is *The Quick and the Dead* (1995) starring _Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Sharon Stone_ and _Gene Hackman._
While not western related, I also recommend *The Mexican* (2001), starring *Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts* and *James Gandolfini.* Truly delightful.
*_The Abyss_* (1989) Dir by _James Cameron._ With _Ed Harris, Michael Biehn_ (Reese from Terminator & Hicks from Aliens), _Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio._
Be well! 🙋🏼♂️
··•●✺●•··
¹ ─ Co-writer of the _Star Wars_ films _The Empire Strikes Back_ (1980), _Return of the Jedi_ (1983), and _The Force Awakens_ (2015). He also co-wrote _Raiders of the Lost Ark_ (1981).
Great movie! Grace Kelly was so beautiful.
One strange thing is that Jeff never tells anyone about the scream that he heard.
You guys are SO smart about movies by this point. Thinking ahead, making great observations and educated guesses. It's awesome to see!
thank you so much!
Hitchcock was the man adjusting the clock in the composers apartment in the beginning Hitchcock always makes a cameo in his micies just like Stan Lee
Alfred Hitchcock is the director of Psycho as well as a lot of other great films like Rebecca, North By Northwest, The Birds, Strangers On A Train, Shadow Of A Doubt, Vertigo, The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Notorious, To Catch A Thief, and The Trouble With Harry, among many others.
The murderer was played by Raymond Burr who played Perry Mason, the famous defense lawyer, on American TV for many years.
We all see things and make assumptions based on what we see. This was the hook for this movie. Hitchcock was a master of the everyday man getting into trouble.
Always watch for Hitchcock himself appearing in his movies!
Great reaction you two....I do hope you do more Alfred Hitchcock films (he really is a great director - like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, Oliver Stone, Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo Del Toro, Christopher Nolan & Tim Burton...to name a few great ones)

Looking forward to watching more reaction videos in the not too distant future for you guys 😁✌️
23:50 Lars Thorwald didn't find anyone in the hall so he went to the fire-escape window/ladder looking for the person who may have left the accusing paper note.
Grace Kelly would be a beauty in any age. She’s absolutely amazing
They should watch "North by Northwest." It is also a classic movie.
If you liked Rear Window, check out Sisters (1972), director Brian DePalma's homage to the Hitchcock classic.
Love watching the 2 of you reaction .keep up the great work. Been watching 👀 for about 6 months now. That is when I subscribed.I always listen to your discussion afterwards. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸 💖 💓.
wow thank you so much! we are so happy you guys watched our discussion afterwards.
Grace hellyer played lisa , later married prince Rarner of .monaco... james Stewart was the Tom hanks of the 49s and 59s...
Great commentary and reactions to this classic Hitchcock film!
thank you 🥰
Great reaction and insight!
It was a lot of fun neighbor watching with you. Rear Window is my favorite Hitchcock film.
thank you! 😍
Must watch Rope, Strangers on a Train, The Birds, Life Boat and Vertigo, The Man That Knew Too Much, Shadow of a Doubt all by Alfred Hitchcock.
7:43 The man setting the clock on the mantel is, Alfred Hitchcock ;)
One of my face Films .Taped it on Video back in the day.Thank you 👏👏👏🌹🎇
"The Cheyenne Social Club" Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda are both in it and it's a good movie.
Alfred Hitchcock movies are some of my favorites. Another good one of his with Grace Kelly is Dial M for Murder.
Screenplay done by a great family friend (Rip JMH)
Great reaction. I think you should react to another Alfred Hitchcock movie 'The Birds'.
Mr. Hitchcock would have been proud of how invested you two got in his film. It is a good story isn't it? To see Grace Kelly in another Hitchcock film try "To Catch a Thief" Excellent story set on the French Riviera. Kelly met Prince Reinier (spl) and later married him making her the Princess of Monaco.
You can see Grace Kelly again in TO CATCH A THIEF (1954), this time with Cary Grant. If you do, watch the look on Grant's face at the very end of the last scene in the film. Also, it sounds like you're not familiar with Hitchcock movies. He made it a practice to make a cameo appearance in each movie, starting, I don't know when. It's like playing a game of Where's Waldo to spot him. I don't think you did in REAR WINDOW. I won't tell you where he appeared. You'll just have to watch it again.
I think this is my favorite movie ever. One of Hitchcocks best. More of his to watch would be Rope, The Birds, Vertigo, and Psycho
Love Jimmy Stewart and definitely loved Grace Kelly. Later Princess of Monaco.
One of my all time favourites
james is a killer actor in the spot
One of my all time favorites!
Jeff is neither pessimistic nor insecure. He is a freelance photographer and doesnt want to be stuck in NY where he won't be happy. Jeff had to brow beat both women over and over before their intuition kicked in.
Excellent choice. Stick with the classic films.
A more contemporary suspense movie is Body Heat with William Hurt and Kathleen Turner. Very film noir.
Grace Kelly became a real princess, she married Prince Rainier of Monaco.
Fun fact: the piano player is the guy who created Alvin and the Chipmunks
I think you guys would love a movie called Watcher. It’s a pretty simple but exciting thriller like Rear Window from last year, and it’s set in Romania!
reallly???? interesting. we will check this one out
I really enjoy both your reactions to these classic films…I wish you two would react to more of them…your potential subscriber.
100% we will be doing more of Hitchcock movies
I hope people asked for Vertigo. My personal Hitchcock favorite not just by me but many
The bad guy later became very well known as Perry Mason--Raymond Burr.
actually hollywood produced far more movies in 30s, 40s, 50s, than they do now.
Then all the great movies of the 60s and 70s changed cinema forever.
@@flarrfan hollywood did make great movies in 30s to 50s too. even in 20s. hollywood lost it somewhere in 90s, with few exceptions.
We watch the Grit network, and it's amazing how many Westerns Hollywood made back then.
I don't know why Hollywood doesn't remake some of those old B movies, instead of remaking classics or successful movies.
I love you two and your reactions. I really think you’d love Jack Lemon and Shirley McClain in The Apartment.
