As much as I admire all of these, especially "Vertigo," I can't imagine that any one of them will top the feelings of exhilaration that are prompted by Rear Window, this most bittersweet of Hitchcockian suspense-romances.

Make no mistake about it: Rear Window is as much of a romance as it is a brilliant exercise in suspense.
