Rear Window
I can’t stand old Hollywood. The soft focus on any shot of grace Kelly was crazy. Looks like they put a whole tub of Vaseline on the lens whenever she was in shot. All shot on a set too; nothing on location. The script was a typical PI caper, nothing remarkable. Bad direction in the scene where all 3 actors are swirling brandy around. Totally unnatural feeling and reeks of a director’s request.
High points were the dubbing / sound effects, and sense of suspense and noir lighting in the final scene.
