Look For Hitchcock In The Bedroom Window
The Bedroom Window(1987), an homage to Alfred Hitchcock, starred Steve Guttenberg as Terry Lambert, a guy who was having an affair with his boss’s wife, Sylvia Wentworth (Isabelle Huppert). During a rendezvous at Terry’s apartment, Sylvia witnesses an attempted rape and he agrees to be the one to report it.
Unfortunately, because he didn’t see the crime take place, his story shifts and he becomes the very suspect he’s trying to help the police catch.
He also becomes involved with the rape victim, Denise (Elizabeth McGovern), which serves to further convolute things.
Director Curtis Hanson, who went on to helm L.A. Confidential and 8 Mile, also penned the screenplay for this film, which is based on the novel by Anne Holden.
While The Bedroom Window certainly doesn’t have the snap of Hitchcock classic such as The Rear Window and North By Northwest, it is entertaining and serves up enough plot twists to keep viewers interested in the outcome.
