Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' (Cambridge Film Handbooks)

Great help for my Hitchcock essay

Rear Window has to be one of the greatest films ever made, and Hitchcock one of the greatest directors. If, like me, you are keen to find out as much as you can about it, then this is as good a place as any to start. Whether you want to know about the making of the film, or are wondering about the ethics of achieving justice via immoral methods, this is a fascinating collection of essays. A full filmography of Hitch's pictures is included, and an invaluable bibliography to help the reader to further study a cinematic classic. Highly recommended for the serious Rear Window fan.

John Belton was the editor and this was a series of essays on the movie Rear Window by academics. Perhaps a book more suited to students of film at university. One or two of the essays wandered off the title subject and one, wandered so far, I thought, was it a mistake? Broaching, psychology, misogyny, feminism etc., an interesting read, just the same. I only wish someone would write a really good cover to cover biography of Rear Window, similar to what has been done with Kubrick in films like 2001 and The Shining. A very good example is Space Odyssey by Michael Benson,which I can thoroughly recommend. A study of Rear Window, or Vertigo in that vein would be ideal. So it was readable, but not outstanding, to me anyway.

Un buen estudio sobre la pelicula

The product was exactly as it was told in description.Quick shipment.Thank you

Many interesting essais which help to iluminate one of the best movies of all time. The introduction by John Belton is among the best summaries I have read about the movie ever, it is extremly useful and iluminating. A good reading and highly recommended.

A number of articles on one of Hitchcock's best-known movies--the gender point of view; the psychological point of view, etc. Lots of good info on production. A good book for Hitchcock fans.
