Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window reconstructed and sped through in three minutes, by Jeff Desom. We only see what can be seen out of the rear window. Set to “Hungarian Dance Number 5″ by Johannes Brahms (arranged for easy listening by Hugo Winterhalter).

I’m going to be teaching Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958) in a few weeks so I decided to watch it again, but to do so first without my scholar’s cap on. Vertigo is a movie that comes along with a wealth of scholarly literature, but this is just me writing as a movie fan, typos and all. Also, it seems a bit silly to shout “Spoiler Alert!” when discussing a movie made over fifty years ago, but I suppose if you haven’t seen Vertigo yet, you should:
a) explain why. I mean, really, what are you waiting for?
b) turn back now. Come back two hours and eight minutes later, once you’ve had the chance to see the film.
