While reading reviews for Mr. Stewart's movies the following websites presented a different and interesting avenues for reviewing films:
- http://moviewave.freeserve.....review web addresses that begin in this way review the soundtrak of a particular film. For example from the Spirit of St. Louis: http://www.moviewave.freeserve.co.uk/titles/spirit_st_louis.html
- http://www.filmvalues.com....review web address that begin in this way are aimed at parents. These websites provide an interesting (possibly extreme) approach to reviewing a film. For example, take a look at the review for childs film (starring Jimmy Stewart of course) An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. http://www.filmvalues.com/review.cfm?recordid=33
- http://www.dvdverdict.com..& http://dvdangle.com.....review web address that begin as such provide an enormous amount of information about a particular film no matter what the viewing format. Take note of the reviews for the film Bell, Book and Candle!

REVIEWS of Rear Window
Click here for the #1 REVIEW PICK (SplicedOn Review). With more than 60 reviews to consider it was difficult choosing just one but I succeeded. This review was selected from the 63 available reviews because it held back, it didn't give away every detail of the movie. This review also hit on an aspect of the movie that I never really thought of even though it is quite obvious now - that the Jimmy Stewart's character and the audience have the same vantage point. Both see and hear what is going on from the same distance and the same sound level. I wanted more of this review!
