crafty_packratToday I went with A Person to Be Pseudonymed Later to see Rear Window and A Man in the Dark (1953) (which was the first 3-D film from a major studio).
Rear Window is a classic for a reason -- it is a tightly written suspense story with engaging characters that use the constrained setting (one room of an apartment and the surrounding apartments as they can be seen from the rear window) to great effect.
A Man in the Dark is entertaining for a b-movie film noir. The best part of it is the ending set on amusement pier (and thus a chase and fight on rollercoaster tracks) and the insurance investigator who is the smartest person in the movie.
