Description:
Architect Terry Lambert (Steve Guttenberg) takes pity on Sylvia Wentworth (Isabelle Huppert), the apparently put-upon wife of his brutish boss (Paul Shenar). Terry commences an affair with Sylvia and during a break between seductions, Sylvia hears a woman screaming from outside her bedroom window. She looks down to see a mysterious man strangling helpless victim Denise (Elizabeth McGovern). By the time Terry comes to the window, he can see only a crowd of spectators. The next day, Terry learns that another girl has been attacked and murdered, and begins to deduce that the killer may be the same person who assaulted Denise. He wants to go to the police, but Sylvia refuses to get involved. Or is she already involved?
Amazon.com:
L.A. Confidential director Curtis Hanson had been knocking around Hollywood for several years helming B-grade fare when he wrote and directed this crisp Hitchcock homage. Steve Guttenberg plays a guy who is fooling around with his boss's wife (Isabelle Huppert). When she witnesses an attempted rape from his apartment, he agrees to be the one to report it. But he didn't see it and his story begins to fall apart; soon the cops begin to look at him as a suspect. His life becomes increasingly complex: Before he knows it, he is on the run for murder, framed for a crime he didn't commit with seemingly no way to prove his innocence. Guttenberg, who has built a career on roles in sub-B films, rose to the occasion (though his subsequent taste in material didn't improve) and Hanson gave the film enough suspenseful twists to keep the audience guessing. --Marshall Fine

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Above average homage to Hitchcock
The set-up sounds as though it was lifted straight from "Rear Window": while cheating on her husband, Sylvia (Isabelle Huppert) sees a woman being attacked from her lover, Terry's (Steve Guttenburg), bedroom window. However, after the first 10 - 15 minutes, "The Bedroom Window" diverges from the "Rear Window" formula and becomes its own story. Seeing that Sylvia doesn't want her husband to know that she is cheating on him but still wants to do the "right thing", Terry offers to report the attack ... Read More
Rating: - Fabolous!!
The Bedroom Window is one of my favorite movies of all time. I was so surprised to finally find this movie, which I had been searching for along time to find. I encourage anyone to shop on amazon.com if you can't find something particular. "Amazon Has It All" Thanks!!!
Rating:  - Paging Brian DePalma!
Isabelle Huppert and generic Steve Guttenberg prove incompatible costars in "The Bedroom Window," a cockamamie mystery that finds these bi-continentals drawn together like refrigerator magnets to styrofoam coolers.
The lovers are supposed to be absolutely crazy about each other, sick with lust even, but Guttenberg's merely more blah than usual and Huppert, in her first English-speaking role, seems to be translating as she goes. It may not be all their fault. Both were saddled with a ... Read More
Rating: - A Forgotten Gem From Curtis Hanson
Sitting down to watch a suspense film with a title like "Bedroom Window" led my movie addled brain to start looking for connections to Hitchcock's "Rear Window." And they are there, from the crime witnessed through a window with limited information to the directing of Curtis Hanson that relies heavily on techniques that were used throughout "Rear Window." You know, shot of voyeur watching somebody suspicious, cut to suspicious guy doing something, cut back to voyeur for reaction shot. The Hitchcock ... Read More
Rating: - Guttenberg Great
This is indeed Steve Guttenberg's best drama. Being a huge fan of Hitchcock's works and other suspense movies like "Along Came a Spider" and "Body Double", I found this movie pretty good. I personally think Steve is a decent actor, just limited in roles suited to him. This role was suited to him as was "Cocoon". Purest may not be impressed by this movie, but those not so demanding should find this worth their while.
The story in a nutshell is Guttenberg is sleeping with the bosses wife ... Read More
