Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock

I viewed this critically acclaimed movie, Rear Window, by Alfred Hitchcock.  And I did not care for it at all.  Mr. Hitchcock has often been called a genuis movie auteur, and director.  He has been called the man with an orginal idea, et al.  But in my own humble opinion, regarding Rear Window I saw no such magic. 

This movie that was filmed on stage 17 at Paramount studios, just does not do it for me.  In many ways I have to say that the movie came across as an old fuddy duddy movie.  In other words like a movie that would appeal to an audience in 1950.  Well, I am now in 2008 and watching this movie for the very first time.  And I will repeat that I do not see any of this so-called Alfred Hitchcock magic.
