    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film negative was damaged considerably as a result of color dye fading as early as the 1960s. Nearly all of the yellow image dyes had faded. Despite fears that the film had been irrevocably damaged, preservation experts were able to restore the film nearly to its original coloration.
    • Goofs
      The helicopter seen near the start is obviously a composite, as there is camera shake in the copter footage.
    • Quotes

      Stella: How much do we need to bail Lisa from jail?

      L.B. Jefferies: Well, this is first offense burglary, that's about $250. I have $127.

      Stella: Lisa's handbag. Uh... 50 cents. I got $20 or so in my purse.

      L.B. Jefferies: And what about the rest?

      Stella: When those cops at the station see Lisa, they'll even contribute.

    • Crazy credits
      The film is bookended with the opening and closing of window blinds across Jeff's rear window.

      The opening titles appear on the former, and the Paramount logo appears on the latter.
    • Alternate versions
      The film has been fully restored from original negatives in 1998. A new negative has been created that resembles the original color scheme of the film, but he first kissing scene had to be restored digitally because the source elements were in bad condition.

    First-rate thriller

    Having watched it for the second time recently, I was struck by how razor-sharp the film's script actually was. Sure, it didn't have a big Agatha Christie-type mystery reveal; but the banter and repartee between the main characters was just so well-written. Of course, the film's framing and camerawork is legendary (for good reason) and Grace Kelly has a luminous screen presence. Suspenseful, intriguing, and a film that shows off a master at the peak of his craft.
