Now, I want readers to know that I have never met Mr. R., he is not a close friend, we were not roommates for several years, and I am not about to send him a check. Thanks, Randy R.

I caught Rear Window on TCM a few weeks ago--though I have it on DVD, I hadn't watched it in awhile and really enjoyed it. While everyone agrees the film is a commentary on voyeurism, you do a nice job of making the case that, in some ways, the film is warmly forgiving of it. After all, at the end of the movie, equilibrum has been restored (except, tellingly, for the married couple!) You also do a nice job of mentioning how prescient the film was given that today's crop of "reality shows" have indeed made us a true society of peeping toms. Great article, Bob.
