Flowers in my hair. I belong by the sea, where we used to be. Sitting by the orange trees.

Summary:
In this movie, Jeff (James Stewart), a middle-class photographer whose work makes him travel all along the world has a relationship with Lisa (Grace Kelly), an upper class girl. At the moment Jeff is resting in his appartment for a few weeks in his town due to his broken leg. As he is bored, he starts to watch everything their neighbors do, Miss Torso, a old couple who has a dog, a young couple who is enjoying their relationship, two women, Miss Loneheart, a pianist and an old mysterious man who kills his wife, who is the person to whom the movie goes around, when Jeff and Lisa start to become curious about him.
Review: 7/10. Nice film in general
One of the points I like the most about the film is how Lisa and Jeff start to question their relationship. She says that that they are in love and thinks that this is all that matters, However Jeff thinks that him being from a lower class than Lisa and his uncomfortable lifestyle (because all the travels he has to do) their relationship will not work. I would have liked that they would have talked more about this.
The scenery is always the same: a block of flat and and courtyard, but they use it originally. The outfits Grace Kelly wears are stunning and gorgeous.

Review
The characters were quite charismatic. Again, the clothes Kelly wore were stunning. The situations were quite funny. The scene with the boat was one of my favourite parts
