"Rear Window" – 2-Disc Special Edition

One of my favorite movies of all time, Rear Window, hits store and cyber shelves today in a 2-Disc Special Edition. The great Jimmy Stewart plays a professional photographer who suspects his neighbor of murdering his nagging wife. So he enlists his socialite girlfriend (Grace Kelly) to help investigate the suspicious chain of events. Excellent digitally remastered picture and tons of extras, including:

• Audio commentary by John Fawell, author of Hitchcock’s Rear Window: The Well-Made Film
• Pure Cinema: Through the Eyes of the Master
• Hitchcock/Truffaut interview excerpts
• Breaking Barriers: The Sound of Hitchcock
• Alfred Hitchcock Presents Mr. Blanchard’s Secret
• Original theatrical trailer

Features carried over from the 2001 Collector’s Edition:

• Rear Window Ethics: An Original Documentary (55 minutes)
• A Conversation with Screenwriter John Michael Hayes (13 minutes on the Collector’s Edition)
• 1983 re-release trailer for Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Trouble With Harry, Rope, and Rear Window, narrated by James Stewart (6 minutes)
• Production photographs
• Production notes

It’s a great time to re-visit this movie, and if you’ve never seen it, a great time to check it out. Buy it on Amazon
