Rear Window The Making of a Hitchcock Masterpiece in the Hollywood Golden Age by Jennifer O'Callaghan

 This is a fascinating forensic examination of the making and the aftermath of Rear Window, which I will have to watch again now! Jennifer O’Callahan really studies everything about the film thoroughly, including the casting, the setting, getting it past the Hays Code, the production, the writing, and, of course, the directing. She also discusses Lisa’s famous fashions. She examines why it was such a prescient film, and why its themes are still so relevant. 

I must admit that I liked reading about the stories of the cast more, though, especially Jimmy Stewart and Princess Grace. I’d also like to read more about some of the rest of the cast.

I received this ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
