Apparently he had dementia the last few years. Growing old can be a terrible thing. RIP Sean Connery

Interesting you know this. This is one of Alfred Hitchcock and Sean Connery's least known work.

Supposedly, Sean pulled alot of strings to be the lead for this movie.

One gets a feeling that Hitchcock got strong armed into using Sean for this movie and the script is actually very unflattering to Sean Connery's role. I do not think it was a conscious decision of Alfred's part. And Sean was probably drawn to the darkness of the character. He probably wanted something different from his James Bond role.

Some people argue that Marnie was when Alfred Hitchcock started to fall from grace, after a string of very very successful movies...

The next movie he made, with Paul Newman and Julie Andrews, Torn Curtains, he swore he would never work with Hollywood A-Listers actor anymore, and he never did...

They sure do not make movies like they use to.

I recently re-watched Rear Window, Psycho, Vertigo and Birds in 4k.

I would have to say, out of the 4, Rear Window is my favorite.

What about you?

Favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie?

As for Sean Connery, it would be a very difficult choice between The Untouchables (1987), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and The Hunt for Red October (1990).

I really cannot make a definite choice between those three...

Stay Safe Everyone

I don't think Steve McQueen was in any of Hitchcock's movies

One of the reason I love Rear Window so much is because Grace Kelly is absolutely GORGEOUS in it. You know the old moniker, they don't make them like they use to. God broke the mold after he made Grace Kelly...

Rear Window was remade into Shia LeBouf (I am no longer famous) Disturbia. With Alfred Hitchcock subtle and masterful direction, I found Rear Window more... suspenseful


Gosh, dude, do watch it. You're in for a treat!
