Such an awesomely made movie set in one location...

A creepy performance by a legendary actor.
Destino Manifesto
All Hitchcock films were great and original --- in a class all to themselves! 😬

Bjach, No such thing as too much old tv. There is definitely such a thing as too.much reality tv.

A favorite movie, where Hitchcock, as usual dares to try a unique technique. Here the entire movie takes place inside of 1 small room and outside a large window, where Jimmy Stewart 's character believes Burr's character is a murderer. Throughout the movie Burr has no lines until the end where he has 2 or 3 lines. A difficult movie to successfully pull off, but Hitchcock and his highly skilled cast do so beautifully.

A great example of a thriller with no murder scenes, no blood or gore, not even a body!! The tension builds and builds ending in a heart beating and thrilling ending. Perfect example of what a genius Hitchcock was as a director!

At least I can sleep knowing it wasn't Fred Mertz/Uncle Bub. That would have just been wrong. Of course, Hitch did have Columbo as a killer on his TV series in the episode; "Bonfire."

Bjach, Even Godzilla would have been shocked.

Bjach, Is there such a crime as to watch too much TV?? Hmmm...

One of my favorite movies. Raymond Burr was quite young, but they colored his hair white. Or gave him a white wig. It looks ridiculous.

Player JZ-3, in his movie life boat which took place entirely on a life boat (obviously) his picture appeared on a newspaper one of the people had

Great movie and the other one by the same name was great too. Hard to believe Burr as a villain. Although, on one episode of Perry Mason, he played 2 roles; one as a villain & the other as Mason.

one of my all time favorite movies! so much suspense viewed from a window!

spoiler alert!

Raymond Burr played an antagonist in most of his films; it wasn't really until he played Perry Mason that he portrayed a protagonist. He was a fine actor in both types of roles.
Tei
Raymond Burr was believed by J. Edgar Hoover to be some kind of spy because he (Burr) was Canadian and gay!

gamehappy0728, the piano player was played by Ross bagdasarian who later created the chipmunks

A good thriller for it's time-both the Hitchcock film & the movie itself.

I knew he was the wheel chair bound lawyer, but it was a complete guess about the answer to the question.

One of Hitchcock's best movies. The entire movie takes place in 1 room, except for occasional.glances inside the murderers apt. I love Hitchcock for the risks he was willing to take, in most of his movies and with the sponsors on his t.v. show.
