Chance to see'Perry Mason' as the bad guy
I love this movie. Raymond Burr was great as the horrible Harry Prebble. I liked seeing him cast as the villian instead of Perry Mason.
sharecheck out "desperate" (1947) and "raw deal" (1948) for more of "perry mason" as a villian.
shareIMO his greatest bad guy role was as the murdering husband in "Rear Window'.

Raymond Burr was so typecast as a bad guy that his being cast as Perry Mason was a major shock. He sure pulled it off, though.
"Sounds like a soul in hell"
Not to bash anyone including Raymond Burr, but didn't think he was cast well in "Rear Window". Although there is only one year difference between these two films, he didn't look at all the same (????) So maybe it was a matter of make up, or wardrobe....

I think the makeup for Burr's character in REAR WINDOW took away from the menacing appearance he usually had. That may have been Hitchcock's intention. He may not have wanted the audience to immediately react to him as a bad guy.
"What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss?"
Good point and thank you.....not to bash "Rear Window" as I never bash films (well almost never ), I have always found it a mystery why I didn't take to it. I consider this to be my loss, not to say anything at all negative about "Rear Window" fans.
Urania to Terpsichore: "You're so quiet. Musing????"
Much as I love REAR WINDOW as a movie, I have no argument with those who state that they just don't like it. I do get a bit perturbed when one says the movie's trash... but to just state that one doesn't enjoy it....there isn'tany movie to the best of my knowledge that EVERYONE likes.
"What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss?"
Yeah Burr is the nastiest in Raw Deal is pyro mania makes him as scary as Tommy Udo.
So is that your name or are you a Leslie Howard fan?^^^
When there are two, one betrays-Jean-Pierre Melville
He didn't look the same because at the start of "Rear Window" filming, he was on a strict diet. As he lost weight, he had to wear padding so he would look the same throughout the film.
