Alfred Hitchcocks film classic “Rear Window” is playing this Friday and Saturday night at midnight at the beautiful River Oaks Theatre.

In the film, Jimmy Stewart observes the goings on in his urban courtyard while he recovers wheelchair bound with a broken leg. He fills his time observing his neighbors as he takes his beautiful but easily available girlfriend, Grace Kelly, for granted. Not until she puts herself into a perilous situation on his behalf, does Jimmy finally realize how much he really does love her. The movie proves on many levels – that what you see on the outside, may not be necessarily be the truth on the inside.

Rear Window is one of Hitchcock’s finest and most stylish films and Grace Kelly is at her icy blond best. Also starring is the famous character actress, Thelma Ritter, as Jimmy Stewarts straight talking visiting care-taker. I’ve seen this movie more times than I’d like to say, but seeing it in the neon covered River Oaks Theatre would really be great.
