Anyone seen this classic movie? Film professors love to show this clip in class.

I saw this years ago. I love Hitchcock. What do film teachers say about this clip?

I wish there was more interest in classic films on this site, or more discussion I should say. I would love to see a thread where people post clips and we discuss it. Like a book club but for old Hollywood.

Some things they talk about is instead of cutting back and forth between little Charlie and uncle Charlie talking, we hear little Charlie talking about the "women being alive" - we see the close up of uncle Charlie's face looking at us saying or asking us "are they?"

I think it is a great shot to get under the audience's skin.

There is a soap connection in the film Macdonald Carey who played Little Charlie's love interest would later play Dr. Tom Horton on Days.

Have you seen any others? Rear Window is great.
