The last few years have seen some classic films that have been given relieve their primitive lustre via restoration, including such films as, My Elegant Lady, Vertigo, Lawrence Of Arabia to name impartial a few. These films as well as this film have been restored by the restoration mavericks Robert A. Harris, and James Katz.
I must say after seeing an reach copy of this film that Rear Window looks extraordinary, especially compared to the Laser Disc copy I have as well as the unpleasant copies that have been showing up on television and VHS over the years.
The colors are vibrant, in particular the reds which don’t give a hint of bleeding into the frame, and the image looks I imagine as finish to the current as possible given the fact that this film is almost fifty years aged now.

The aspect ratio is 1.66:1 which is the superb framing for this film, the sound is the new mono soundtrack and has been scrubbed up to retract any audio imperfections that have built up over the years.
Also included on this disc is a 55 tiny documentary titled, Rear Window Ethics:Remembering a Hitchock Classic which is quite delightful.
There is a aloof frame gallery, a shorter documentary with the screenwriter John Michael Hayes, as well as the standard fare of biographies, filomgraphies etc.

All in all a quite impressive package and should be of interest to any Hitchcock fan as well as Cinema fans in general.
The ultimate Hitchcock classic, REAR WINDOW gives us a perceive into the mind of Alfred Hitchcock, and in turn Hitchcock turns the mirror on us and forces us to admit our darkest desire…to be voyeurs.
That is exactly what Jeffries is. Jeffries (James Stewart) is a wheelchair-bound photographer who spends his time cooped up in his apartment, peeping in on the neighbours across the courtyard. He comes up with “names” for them; Miss Torso the ballerina; Miss Lonely-Hearts; The Newly-Weds and so on. His only contact with the outside world is his girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) and his wisecracking nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter) .
Unknowlingly witnessing the cancel of Mrs Thorwald, he, along with Lisa and Stella, plot out to explain the truth about Mr Thorwald (Raymond Burr) and show the mystery of her rapidly disapperance.
A beautifully-restored print by James Katz and Robert Harris (also responsible for the resplendent unique renderings of MY Attractive LADY and VERTIGO), is the highlight of this DVD. The new negative was severely outmoded and turning green when Universal aqquired the entire Paramount film library. Color-correction and shadow detail are now succor to their unusual set, as is the soundtrack featuring Franz Waxman’s handsome salvage.
The ULTIMATE Hitchcock thriller, with more than a touch of romance and comedy.
