Rear Window was the 2nd of four movies they made together - after Rope.

One thing for damn sure... Mr Hitchcock knew to back off of my good acquaintance, Tippi Hedren. She ultimately still loved him, though.

One doesn’t become a general in the AF by being nice all the time.

Rope is a stage play on film. Of course Hitch could work magic in even closer confines. Lifeboat may be his masterpiece.

Jimmy Stewart IRL was what John Wayne played on screen.
20 bombing missions over Europe in a B-24 Liberator.
He remained in the Air National Guard and retired as a Brigadier General.

General in the Air Force
Reserves.
Slight difference. Still impressive.

Most Hitchcock films stand up today - to an unbiased viewer.
Psycho still scares the **it out of first time viewers 63 years later.

She was for the birds... Ha ha! The very first social outing I had with her, I knew better than to talk shop with any celeb level person. However, SHE is the one who lovvvvves to talk about THE BIRDS. I suspect it's just habit after 55 years.

Brigadier General. He enlisted when he was 33 - over the age for aviation cadet training.

As I understand it, even though married Hitchcock had a thing for blondes in general did he not?

Rope is a stage play on film.
So was "The Bad Seed", and the Director didn't pretend it was anything different, even with a final casting call.

I dunno, if I had Grace Kelly bringing me dinner I wouldn’t be taking out the binoculars to look at Raymond Burr.

Personally, I think that Rear Window is one of Hitchkock’s best films, while Vertigo is over-rated.

Due to his outspoken opinions on actors (he called them “cattle”), many were intimidated by the prospect of working with Hitchcock.That's not what Hitchcock said about actors. He didn't call them 'cattle.'
He said they should be treated like cattle.

Stewart was a great actor. My one time being in the audience of the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson back in 1987 he was one of the guests that night.

He had a sense of humor.
He was good friends with Carole Lombard.
