Fawell encourages readers to see and hear connections that merit more thought and appreciation than casual viewing would suggest. As Fawell moves from one topic to another and points out the film's many different kinds of interconnections, the reader will come to understand exactly how well-made Rear Window is.-Hitchcock Annual; ""Fawell builds his study on the previous research of other scholars, but he also questions some of their assumptions and criticisms about Hitchcock and his films in a most lively fashion. His study is a solid and substantial analysis.""-Gene Philips, author of Alfred Hitchcock

Providing an extensive analysis of ""Rear Window"", John Fawell dismantles many myths and cliches about Hitchcock, particularly in regard to his attitude toward women.
