The Bedroom Window is a 1987 thriller directed by Curtis Hanson. The movie is based on the novel The Witnesses by Anne Holden. Terry (Steve Guttenberg) is having an affair with his boss' wife Sylvia (Isabelle Huppert). One night after an office party, they are together and Sylvia witnesses an attack on Denise (Elizabeth McGovern) from Terry's bedroom window. She doesn't want to expose their relationship and so is reluctant about talking to the police. Terry, wanting to help, gives the police the description of the attacker. He soon becomes the main suspect in the case. He then sets out to find the real rapist/killer with some help from Denise. Though not an outright remake of Hitchcock's Rear Window, several critics at the time pointed out a number of plot similarlities. less
