Through the Shattered Lens 
A great tribute to James Stewart. I have always been a big fan of the actor. James Stewart had a charismatic presence that elevated every movie he appeared in. I particularly admired his collaborations with Hitchcock. Stewart starred in several films made by Alfred Hitchcock, one of which you already discussed in your post with “Rear Window”. Another underrated Hitchcock film where Stewart really blew me away was “Rope”. A terrifying psychological thriller, it saw Stewart in the role of a suspicious house guest suspecting a murder. Stewart brought such a commanding presence to the role, and it’s definitely one of Hitchcock’s underrated films that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. If you’re a fan of James Stewart, it’s worth seeing. Here’s why I recommend it strongly:
