Dana and Tom with returning guest, VP Morris (an award-winning thriller and horror writer and podcaster; vpmorris.com, @teawriterepeat on IG and X, The Dead Letters Podcast; previously on Scream and The Shining) discuss the 1950s mystery classic, Rear Window for its 70th Anniversary: directed by Alfred Hitchcock, written by John Michael Hayes, music by Franz Waxman, starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr, and Thelma Ritter.Plot Summary: In Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window," we find ourselves confined within the claustrophobic confines of a Greenwich Village apartment, peering through the lens of LB Jefferies (James Stewart), a wheelchair-bound photographer. His summer pastime is a voyeuristic venture into the lives of his neighbors, a cross-section of urban archetypes played out in the building's courtyard. Each window frames a fragment of humanity, from the lonely Miss Lonelyhearts to the tantalizing Miss Torso.The plot pivots on Jeff's suspicion that a neighbor, Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr), has murdered his wife. This suspicion, shared and fueled by his glamorous girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly) and his nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter), drives the narrative forward. Hitchcock masterfully crafts tension not through action, but through the act of watching—turning the audience into voyeurs complicit in Jeff's obsessions."Rear Window" is not merely a suspense thriller; it is a meditation on isolation and the ethics of observation. Stewart's performance, marked by vulnerability and determination, anchors the film's exploration of human curiosity and its consequences. Grace Kelly, in her role, adds a layer of sophistication and intrigue, embodying the tension between adventure and domesticity. "Rear Window" remains a timeless classic, a window not just into the lives of its characters, but into the genius of Hitchcock's cinematic vision.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Background01:29 Background, Cast, and Recognition for Rear Window02:20 Recognition for Rear Window04:14 Relationship(s) to Rear Window09:13 What is Rear Window About?24:54 Plot Summary for Rear Window26:53 Did You Know?31:47 First Break32:29 Ask Dana Anything41:12 Best Performance(s)50:16 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)54:34 Second Break55:33 In Memoriam56:32 Remembering Bob Newhart01:01:54 Best/Funniest Lines01:05:31 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:10:20 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:15:38 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:26:20 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:29:06 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:31:31 Remaining and Listener Questions01:47:02 Thank You to VP Morris01:48:05 Final Thoughts for the Week01:50:04 CreditsYou can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.For more on the episode, go to:

We wanted to “jump on the mic,” as the kids say, and give you a Writers' Hangout update.  Terry and I have been working on some projects that took our time away from recording, but we've been working behind the scenes on future episodes and are excited about hanging out with you soon. I miss you guys a lot.  In the meantime, here's a favorite episode of mine and Terry's entitled; WRITING REAR WINDOW WITH HITCHCOCK AND HAYES.  Learn how a short story from a dime store magazine turned into one of the most discussed films produced in Hollywood and the fifth-grossing film of 1954.  The film REAR WINDOW, starring Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr, and Thelma Ritter, was written by John Michael Hayes and directed by Alfred Hitchcock.  

Hello Writers, come hang out with Sandy and Terry as they discuss how a short story from a dime store magazine turned into one of the most discussed films produced in Hollywood and the fifth-grossing film of 1954.  The film REAR WINDOW, starring Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, Raymond Burr, and Thelma Ritter, was written by John Michael Hayes and directed by Alfred Hitchock.  

John Michael Hayes was a two-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter who wrote four films for Alfred Hitchcock. But before that, he was a busy radio writer penning adventures for Johnny Dollar and comedies for Lucille Ball. We'll hear three of Hayes' old time radio scripts: "The Seeing Eye" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on November 12, 1945); "Lady in Distress" from Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on ABC on February 23, 1951); and "The Vendetta Caper" from The Adventures of Sam Spade (originally aired on NBC on March 30, 1951).

El poder visual del maestro Hitchcock alcanza una de sus cimas con La ventana indiscreta. El mago del suspense dominaba la imagen, el medio, a la perfección, y sabía dar soluciones visuales inesperadas y dignas de un fuera de serie. Una lumbre en la oscuridad de un cuarto, o será el criminal fumando un pitillo en su guarida. Un fotógrafo cojo, unos prismáticos y más tarde, un teleobjetivo para poder apreciar mejor que ocurre allá fuera.. Enorme James Stewart. Protagonista y voyeur de una sospecha. Algo raro está ocurriendo en el patio de enfrente. El guion de John Michael Hayes , basado en el relato original de Cornell Woolrich, se mueve entre dos aguas, por un lado el posible crimen, y en otro la relación sentimental entre el impedido fotógrafo con pierna en cabestrillo, y su novia, - imponente Grace Kelly-, una mujer de una pieza, modélica, quizá demasiado. Será Lisa la que decida intervenir en la investigación jugándose la vida, y así ganarse la admiración del periodista. El convaleciente prefiere fisgar a sus vecinos en lugar de reparar en la belleza que le trae la cena del restaurante a casa con camarero incluido. Rodada en un solo escenario, todo ocurre entre el piso del reportero y el patio de enfrente. Con un decorado sin igual, una construcción casi total de la manzana, pisos con habitaciones equipadas y amuebladas, con electricidad y agua corriente. Dos mujeres acompañan esos días de fastidio y vigilancia, su pareja y la enfermera del Seguro, una estupenda Thelma Ritter. La asistenta le da masajes y le acusa de mirón, la otra le visita, le agasaja, ambas terminarán involucradas en la investigación y serán pieza clave en la resolución de los hechos. Ya lo dijo Truffaut, La Ventana Indiscreta no era una película sobre la ciudad, era una película sobre el cine, y él sabía de lo que hablaba. La pantalla de cine es la ventana del espectador, todos somos Jeff. Confinados, sentados en una butaca, asistimos a los ejercicios de gimnasia de la señorita Torso, a las cenas de Corazón Solitario, a los arrumacos de dos recién casados, a la soledad de un pianista que quiere componer su mejor pieza. En otra ventana, una pareja sin hijos saca a su perrito hacer sus necesidades diarias en un cesto. El fotógrafo no puede quitar la vista de ese perro que husmea en el arriate de la portería. Un tipo tan intrépido como él, de pronto reducido a la inmovilidad de una silla de ruedas. Y aún puede empeorar la cosa, aún puede plantarse el asesino en su propio piso. A Jeff no se le ocurrirá otra cosa que defenderse con sus avíos de trabajo, varios flashes cegadores solo detendrán unos instantes al siniestro visitante -Raymond Burr-. La pantalla se iluminará varias veces, y la figura del hombre en pijama, de voyeur a víctima, tomará forma lentamente, como una fotografía revelada en un laboratorio. RG Esta noche miramos por la ventana a la espera de que nos salve una melodía de piano... Zacarías Cotán, Salvador Limón, Gervi Navío, Chari Medina y Raúl Gallego.

In the summer of 1949, MGM reunited Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore to record the radio series, The Story of Dr. Kildare, which used the concept and characters of the earlier Young Dr. Kildare story and did not include any of the young doctors who had replaced Kildare in the later films featuring Dr. Gillespie. By this time, Ayres had returned to public favor after serving in WWII as a medical corpsman. Episodes were scripted by James Moser, Jean Holloway, Les Crutchfield, E. Jack Newman, John Michael Hayes, Joel Murcott, and others. The supporting cast included Ted Osborne as hospital administrator Dr. Carew, Eleanor Audley as receptionist Molly Byrd, Jane Webb as nurse Mary Lamont, and Virginia Gregg as nurse Evangeline Parker, labeled “Nosy Parker” by Gillespie. In addition, many prominent West Coast radio actors made recurring appearances, including Raymond Burr, William Conrad, Stacy Harris, Lurene Tuttle, Barton Yarborough, and Jack Webb.

In REAR WINDOW, Jimmy Stewart plays a photographer who is in a wheelchair in his New York City apartment with a broken leg. To pass the time, he spends his days looking out the window at his neighbors with a telephoto lens on his camera. His imagination starts to run wild, and he suspects murder when he notices that a man’s bedridden wife has disappeared. Grace Kelly plays Jimmy’s neglected girlfriend who wishes he would focus on HER instead of all his neighbors. REAR WINDOW is one of the most iconic mystery thrillers of all time from the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. In this episode, James and Lara talk about what screenwriter John Michael Hayes did to capture the essence of who Grace Kelly really was, Hitch’s silent film roots, and how a shirtless Jimmy Stewart getting a massage left Lara feeling confused. We also discuss REAR WINDOW’s Oscar nominations, Alfred Hitchcock’s cameo, and the effectiveness of the sound design. Open up your windows and blinds, uncap your telephoto lens, and get ready to wonder what’s going on behind closed doors in a film that has been called the best example of classic Hitchcock cinema.

The Adventures of Sam Spade was first heard on ABC July 12, 1946, as a Friday-night summer series. The show clicked at once, and went into a regular fall lineup on CBS September 29, 1946. From then until 1949, Sam Spade was a Sunday-night thriller for Wildroot Cream Oil, starring Howard Duff in the title role. With Duff's departure, NBC took the series, leaving it on Sunday for Wildroot and starring Stephen Dunne as Spade. This version lasted until 1951, the last year running as a Friday sustainer. Spade's appearance on the air marked an almost literal transition from Dashiell Hammett's 1930 crime classic, The Maltese Falcon, where he first appeared.THIS EPISODE:February 9, 1951. NBC network.

There were rarely any recurring characters except Dollar; despite sometimes romance and friends, the character was generally a loner. These early episodes, however, tended to be flat and the character of Dollar too dry. So at the start of the 1950 season, Charles Russell was out and veteran film actor Edmund O'Brien stepped in as the second Johnny Dollar. The series during the O'Brien years improved with scripts by expert crime writer such as E. Jack Neumann, John Michael Hayes, Sidney Marshall and Blake Edwards. The character took on the stereotype of the American detective developed by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Dollar was more hardboiled; his softer side rarely appeared. O'Brien left in 1952 and John Lund became Dollar number three. With Lund in the role, the character as developed by O'Brien remained.

Your's Truly Johnny Dollar - The Mojave Red Matter From 1958 Opening on a Friday night, February 18, 1949 (The Paricoff Policy Matter), right at the start of television's golden age, this radio show brought us a high-powered insurance investigator who worked chiefly for the Universal Adjustment Bureau, a clearinghouse for the many insurance companies. The series starred Charles Russell as Johnny Dollar, the smart and tough detective, whose trademark it was to toss silver dollars as tips to busboys and bellhops. At the start of the 1950 season, Charles Russell was out and veteran film actor Edmund O'Brien stepped in as the second Johnny Dollar. The series during the O'Brien years improved with scripts by expert crime writer such as E. Jack Neumann, John Michael Hayes, Sidney Marshall and Blake Edwards.
