This week, Nicky has chosen to talk about REAR WINDOW (1954).

Written by John Michael Hayes and Cornell Woolrich, and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, REAR WINDOW is the story of an injured photojournalist turned detective, providing a stark warning about flash photography in unlit rooms. Whether you come for the spenny set, the classic Hollywood stars, or the naked voyeurism and the questions it raises, come one, come all, for this absolute banger.

Nicky classes this as a Christmas film, because there’s never a festive period when it’s not aired, and Phil thinks…? Well, who knows? You’ll have to listen to find out.
