A creepy performance by a legendary actor.

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!

Player JZ-3, Thanks 4 mentioning that! I didn't know it! Did he do that in All his movies, or just this one?

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.

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.

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.

Raymond Burr was believed by J. Edgar Hoover to be some kind of spy because he (Burr) was Canadian and gay!

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.
