Rear Window




             It shows every kind of human behaviour - a real index of individual behaviour. The picture would have been very dull if we hadn't done that. What you see across the way is a group of little stories ...... that mirror a small universe.

Deadline at Dawn



           No moon ever entered there, no stars, anything at all. They were worse than the grave, for in the grave is absence of consciousness. And God, she reflected, ordered the grave, for all of us ; but God  didn't order such burrows in a third-class New York City hotel.
