Alfred Hitchcock
1954
I had, of course, seen this one a million times or so, so it wasn't exactly new.
I'd forgotten how good it was though.
Those fight scenes at the very end are so gritty for 1954.
Grace Kelly is radiant. (I love the dynamic of her relationship with Jimmy Stewart, even at the end. And the way he's so much more interested in her once she gets into the whole "Let's solve a crime!" caper.)
Everything, as with Hitchcock always, is just so.
(Hitch will always have a special place in my heart. If it weren't for him, I never would have read Robin Wood in high school and I might not be doing what I am now.)
