Just Talking About Rear Window (1954)

This week, we go back 70 years and pay a visit to a small one bedroom apartment in New York City. It’s the middle of summer and L.B Jeffries, stuck and bored in his apartment with leg cast, watches his neighbours through binoculars while the beautiful and ever so graceful Lisa, played by the stunning Grace Kelly pays him regular visits. She waltzes around his apartment wearing the height of 1950's fashion, buys him an extravagant lobster dinner and inevitably becomes his partner in solving a potential crime. 

This charming and interesting movie has, as we put it “cozy mystery vibes”, and has us reminiscing about a simpler time. During this episode we discuss feeling sentimental about what it would be like to live in a world, pre modern entertainment, where all you could do to the pass the time while stuck in your apartment, was to look out at your eccentric New York City neighbours.
