A classic Western and perhaps Gary Cooper's best role. Cooper plays a frontier marshal who is about to be married to a lovely bride (Grace Kelly shining as only she can). The wedding day is interrupted when rumors about a convict, that the marshal had imprisoned, is free and coming after him. The townspeople, who the marshal has helped for years, desert him and he is left alone to face the outlaws. This wasn't the normal western with Indians and gun fights, but a character study. It shows one man, sticking to his morals and duty when everyone else has abandoned him. Fred Zinnemann's direction was perfect, with many of his shots becoming the new norm for the western. He also held the suspense of the film by shooting the film in real time and showing clocks throughout the picture to heighten the tension.

One of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock films (which is saying a lot because I love them all). It stars two of Hitchcock's favorite actors in Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly. Stewart plays L.B. Jefferies, a world class photographer who is stuck in his room due to a supposed, work related, broken leg. With nothing else to do, he begins to observe (spy on) his neighbors across his apartment courtyard through his telephoto camera lens. His girlfriend, played by Kelly, is a fashion model who's trying everything to get a commitment from Jefferies. Through his daily observations, he begins to suspect that one of his neighbors may have murdered his wife. He convinces both Kelly and his nurse (played wonderfully by Thelma Ritter) and together they begin to collect clues to the mystery. When the killer realizes he's being watched, he comes after Jefferies who has no where to escape while being stuck in his wheelchair.
