RE: Pix not sharp nor digital

Hitchcock was a class act, a great filmmaker who chose excellent talent for classics like Rear Window. Today's directors and producers create mostly gratuitous trash. Once in awhile that's fun, but not a constant diet of it. Even when Cartier-Bresson shot slightly risque stuff he did so in classy style to communicate an idea.

It is to Hitchcock's credit that he managed to film a nude scene without
it appearing to be gratuitous nudity. I doubt that directors today could
resist the temptation.

As you know the shower scene it's the greatest piece of editing in the
story
of filmmaking!
