Caught Snooping - Rear Window (7/10) Movie CLIP (1954) HD

[@BugVlogs]

2:50 One of the greatest "Oh, shit!" moments in cinema history.

[@wrmty56413]

Hitchcock was the master of "Oh, shit!" moments

[@cgh7337]

Raymond Burr had the perfect set of eyes to give Jeff that menacing look once he realizes what is going on.

[@jandyhill4567]

I just watched it for the first time last night and I was losing my mind when she was in his apartment

[@garyspence2128]

This was four years before Raymond Burr did Perry Mason, but he looks twenty years older than he did on TV. That makeup was on point...

[@dragoniguana]

The shot where Thorwald looks into the camera is one of the most terrifying single shots in cinematic history. The way Hitchcock makes you complicit in Jeffries' voyeurism with point-of-view shots, and then shatters the sort of fourth wall that both Jeffries and the viewer have, is just magnificent.

[@dragoniguana]

***** I completely agree.

[@indiemovie4life427]

I agree. I just watched this today, and I had the same experience.

[@CamilleNadia]

I agree. It's bone chilling

[@ellisknight7766]

if i was the nurse i be like Jeff-"he's seen us" Me-"no he's seen you" *runs out door* "later"

[@ashanark5782]

+dragoniguana I agree. Funny thing is, if you described that moment to someone--"An overweight, aging salesmen looks at the camera"--they likely wouldn't think it'd be frightening at all. But since we've been so sucked in by this point, the moment is terrifying. Really, watching this clip out of context can't do it justice; you kinda have to watch the whole film to get the full effect.

[@TWS-pd5dc]

Absolute masterpiece of direction. The look of anguish on Jimmy's face, the utter helplessness is astounding! That was the Hitchcock touch in so many of his movies: we, the audience, can see the impending doom but the character, Grace Kelly, cannot. That's what builds the tension so well. Brilliant.

[@ThePeytonator1138]

When Thorwald looks at the camera it gives me the chills...it's like he's not only looking at Jimmy Stewart, but the audience as well!!

[@GoodVsEvil1314]

2:52 My heart freaking stopped the first time I saw this part of the movie.

[@yabasic4105]

IKR i just saw it yeaterday, and I die every time he looks into the camera

[@woogum10]

James Stewart was such a terrific actor.

[@Tim_Raths]

Grace Kelly was such a gorgeous woman.

[@twain103]

She was. I grew up with people talking about ONE blonde Marilyn Monroe.Its on cable this month.I was watching as she explained what Mrs. Thorwald would do her jewelry.She COULD ACT TOO,DARN.

[@ryder536]

They played this in the local theater last weekend. So cool to hear the whole audience gasp when Thorwald is walking to his door.

[@CultureDTCTV]

Just saw this movie for a film class, the entire audience (of young adults in our early 20s!) gasped when Thorwald looked into the camera. It's absolutely insane that something scary in 1954 is just as scary in 2024

[@djgizmoe]

Out of context, it's hard to see why this scene thrills. In context, we are all squirming and equally impotent as Jimmy in the wheelchair. So, so good. Makes me want to go out and buy the DVD right now.

[@lilsebastian1458]

This is the first time I’ve really acknowledged the background music. I love that the music is romantic rather than sinister; somehow feels much more effective in creating tension

[@astrodogg21]

I love tha moment when Thorwald glares at L.B. after Lisa shows them the wedding ring! Really creepy scene!

[@TheJPSouza]

So true, no matter how many times I have seen it and know what's about to happen, this scene always creeps me out!!! 😨😰😱

[@0megaFan]

I'm so glad I watched this movie for the first time in a film class. I got to experience this scene with two moments of audible gasps in the classroom the first was when you could see Thorwald's shadow at the end of the hall and the second was... Well you know.

[@p.z.arnott2329]

I myself experienced seeing this movie at a local theater and when the moment Thorwald sees she has the wedding ring and looks across to the other building, the entire theater gasp.

[@chantelsweets5683]

I felt bad when he couldn't help her😣 she was so scared.

[@timdaugherty4014]

It's like when someone you love is sick and you can't get them to a hospital. Just pains you to see them hurting.

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

Burr should have won an Academy Award for that split second moment alone.

[@radconserv68]

It's funny how I never noticed this underlying music. It was so calm and yet everything that was happening was so tense. I never noticed that before. Alfred Hitchcock was a genius

[@poetcomic1]

Hitchcock's work with Raymond Burr was fascinating. He loved Burr as Thorwald - that 'hulking quality', brutish, had to be conveyed over a distance and Burr did it to perfection with his walk, his movements, expressions etc. Burr was actually a very gentle and well read courtly type of man, struggling with his secret gay life.

[@nigelrees2696]

I can't get over that Set.

[@jmcieslak0]

One of tha best a all-time

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

The ambience in that music playing as all this is happening adds so much to the effect it has. For a film that’s 65 years old it’s such a great tension every time I see it, a great piece of film making

[@Gencturk92]

all Hitchcock films are brilliant, i like dial m for murder and strangers on a train, their good movies aswell

[@jrmetmoi]

"Jeff! Jeff!" "Dammit! You KNOW I'm in a wheelchair!"

[@timdaugherty4014]

Probably a force of habit. She's scared and in danger so calls for the one she loves and knows where she is.

[@ayyydubbs2]

The way he looks into the camera is so dam creepy but I live for it

[@WolfieMcMuffin]

I wonder what explanation Lisa is giving him as to why she is in his house?

[@twain103]

I know she pointed up,maybe I'm your upstairs neighbor. I came down to borrow something,ask your wife etc.

[@WolfieMcMuffin]

twain103 "Ding! Dong! Avon calling!" XD

[@kerryiisms7989]

not sure, though you can hear her say "the door was open"

[@andreamigliore6607]

OMG Has no one seen Rear Window?! Rear Window has a great cast incl cool, elegant Grace Kelly. It's wonderful Hitchcock film with mystery and playful humor.

[@carolcrowley6676]

I ADORE THE SONG "LISA" I WISH THAT I COULD TYPE IT IN ON KZbin AND HEAR IT DAILY😊

[@TheKonga88]

Carol Crowley You could play a Captain Zapp song instead 🤡🤡🤠🤠☻☻👽👽👻☠👺💀🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@12classics39]

The sight of Lisa in danger is what triggers Jeff to realize for the first time how much she really means to him.

[@juckjolly]

it also symbolizes the "mystique" of cinema. when she is by his side in the audience, he's not interested. As soon as she steps into his movie screen, he's crazy about her

[@Volts48]

I agree, it sends shivers down my spine every time.

[@Mp25DIII]

Yeah, one of the biggest UH OH moments ever

[@tasakakk5454]

this 3min and half length scene describes the theme of "Rear Window" literally and thoroughly. What a perfect scene ever!!

[@ANGELILYworks]

Should've BEEN had the light turned off.

[@joewhitehead3]

Yeah, I was wondering why he didn't

[@adrianpale2342]

@@joewhitehead3 everyone gets sloppier the more they get away with something without getting caught

[@ckelvin2079]

Things happened too fast. Jeff did not expect Lisa would sneak into Thorwald's apartment and got caught.

[@JupiterChild96]

I loved how the music was genuinely so incredible that it stopped Lisa from what she was doing as well. I lowkey wanted to cry at both how beautiful the music was and how terrified I was for Lisa🥴

[@NintendoCapriSun]

2:50 is how eye contact feels.

[@austenhamel9286]

The shot of the killer looking is one of the best shots in film history. We we go through this whole movie snooping and watching then when the character finally gets caught. Alfred does an amazing job of making it feel like we got caught as well

[@JAKEBrakeModel94]

Such an intense moment in the movie!!!

[@android82synthwave]

That is some of the finest acting you will ever see, ladies and gentlemen.

[@Sidiciousify]

No.

[@andreina9305]

i saw this film a few days ago, i swear i could hear what they were saying sometimes, especially that moment during 2:13, but i saw it in spanish (i'm from south america). Perhaps i'm imagining it because i was so immersed in the movie... but i'm not sure

[@twain103]

You can hear bits and pieces of their conversation.

[@andreina9305]

so i was right, but we can't hear it in this clip

[@Soapia99th]

I thought him catching her was the scariest moment.. no it was him catching Jeff

[@0megaFan]

We watched this for my intro to film class and everyone there was an audible gasp across the room when everyone saw his shadow down the hall

[@channingbloom7125]

Masterful direction. When he looked up directly at the screen I felt like I was in jimmy’s situation. Hopeless, no way out, like a deer in headlights, fear. It was like I had realized I never realized if the villain ever found out where I was. Until he did and I realized “wait, there is no way out. There is nothing stopping that man from getting to jimmy. He’s trapped.” Everything about this story is utterly amazing and perfect.

[@fatherlucid4995]

2:46 one of my favorite scenes ever

[@jinx1987]

2:49 how can something so simple be so effective?

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

Yes. Terrifying.

[@robertgriffiths7483]

I kid you not the moment Thorwald looks directly into the camera I let out the loudest scream I have ever done. No film moment no matter how scary or horrifying has had that effect on me.

[@johntapp7232]

If they remade the movie thirty years later, Raymond Burr’s stare would have been even more ominous and foreboding. Like the last thing a rabbit see before the owl gets him.

[@darknice10]

I never noticed that Mr. Thorwald was played by Raymond Burr until I looked up the cast.

[@boardgameman6298]

One of Hitchcock's best movies he made. Jimmy Stewart is the best!

[@Lomes]

My film crit teacher showed us this movie and man oh man the class was freaking out when he looked at us

[@cptnoremac]

Turn out the lights? Why weren't your lights already off? That's neighbor snooping 101.

[@chrisotto8370]

WHY WAS THE LIGHT ON IN THE FIRST PLACE???

[@felixdom9693]

Such an incredible movie i've ever seen this pure art

[@blueberry7899]

I remember watching this for the first time, the moment when Thorwald looks into the camera just makes your stomach completely drop. The way the film is shot builds upto this moment- the role of L.B Jeffries (guy in the wheelchair), is very similiar to your role as a cinema viewer. Your watching events unfold from the safety of your arm chair and you feel anonymity - the lack of alternative camera shots re-inforces this similiarity between you and the guy in the wheel chair. Because this detached, voyestritic, sense of security is so similar to the cinema goers situation, when Thorwald looks into the camera, in that moment its like he is looking into your living room.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

I just had that experience about a month ago, as my class was assigned to watch and analyze this movie. Even having a more modern sensibility with regards to thrills and scares, that moment stood out, along with Mr. Thorwald approaching Jeff's door, and attacking Jeff

[@danielbrissenden2555]

Fastest police response time in the history of police...

[@SJMJ91]

2:53 - always creeps me out!

[@Comdesron17]

you know what gets me about this scene is that Jimmy Stewart sitting in his apartment with light on, then gets busted later - cracks me up when he tells Thelma Ritter to turn off the light. But biggest laugh is when he calls the detective and is whispering to him on the phone!!! You dummy why are you whispering when Raymond Burr is across the yard ... that was so stupid!!

[@yteerdcmyteey]

this movie freaked me out more than the shining or alien did

[@benhuether5474]

Why wasn't this on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments?

[@TheNewDemocrat]

Aw, Baby Lisa (played by The Amazing Grace Kelly) gets caught breaking and entering.

[@moebadi320]

jimmy should shout out through the window, LEAVE HER ALONE!

[@TabzHighBank]

Mo Ebadi That was me I would of jumped out the wheelchair screaming all kind of threats 😬

[@benpeace6759]

2:50 ah ha there it is Home Alone 3 Nostalgia Crtitic

[@danielweatherill9964]

who needs a sensory deprivation chamber when this person inspires a much nicer place to be with you

[@michaelcubed]

I thought the movie was just okay. It wasn’t as tense as I was expecting. Then 2:50 happened. The next 15 minutes where some of the most intense of my life.

[@krishshautriya5170]

Never been more afraid. I believe in Grace Kelly supremacy.

[@jeprice08]

Shame on you, Mr. Mason. Shame! What would Della Street and Paul Drake say if they knew what you were up to, huh? What!?

[@nostalgiajumper0233]

2:49 I wouldn’t watch this at 3 am

[@Gencturk92]

its 5am right now and i am

[@Kelly14UK]

Raymond Burr at a guess

[@coryspang7548]

It was at this very moment that Jeff knew, he had f*cked up

[@auscent]

He could have been braver to shout out fr the window.

[@frederickmasson3660]

If the scream of Liza don't make his neighboors awaken his scream will not do neither. After all, the neighboors didn't react when we heard the scream of miss Thordwall the first night. But yeah, I understand your point, but I think I prefer the fact that he knows that he can do nothing in his condition. It's more dramatic and add to the desperate situation.

[@sulisrahmadanihutagalung9165]

I breath so hard when i saw this scene

[@Gencturk92]

thats what Hitchcock films are like, it makes you feel like your in the film aswell and not just an audience. I wish i lived in the 50's, 60's and 70's

[@snsddien]

Anyone knows the song? Please tell me. I love this song but I dont know what it was

[@kerryiisms7989]

it's called "lisa" by frank waxman. there are several variations of it throughout the film, but this particular one is titled "lisa - intermezzo." hopefully that'll help you find it! this movie really has such a lovely soundtrack.

[@AndyThinks]

Hey, this is Andy. If you're reading Hitchcock, I'd like to tell you that I'm analysing this sequence for my AS level Film Studies coursework. I think it's OK, so keep up the good work. Oh, and you know that 'Vertigo' film you were going to make? Don't bother.

[@happyfistcutscrap]

the first two minutes of this scene, one of the funniest things that I've ever seen

[@peachytheii202]

Could she have turned off that light any slower?!!!

[@Cml725]

"Busted!"

[@hilltopviewer8204]

Does anyone know the classical tune that the musician whistles in the film?

[@aprilann4023]
