Question:I was in a film art class....and my teacher played a video of Alfred Hitchcock it was about how one scene can mean 2 different things. It was a scene of him staring out window, then it cut to that scene of a women holding her child. Then it cuts back to him and he smiles. Then its the same scene of a him staring out the same window, it cuts to that scene of a women in a bathing suit. He went from nice caring man to dirty old man. Does anyone know wut im tallking about?? I wish I could find it its for a school project.

Sounds like "Rear Window" with Jimmy Stewart.
He's not a dirty old man, he has a broken leg or something and he's bored (they didn't have cable back in the 50s) so he's looking out his window and studying his neighbors. At some point he witnesses a murder and that's when the suspens begins...
The name of the movie is Rear Window starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly.

Re Note; He did not turn into a dirty old man as you claim when he noticed the girl in the bathing suit he was just admiring her in that way.

Hope that helps you for your school project. Good Luck.

Laurey.
Umm, the only movie I can think of is "Rear Window". Was the man in a wheelchair? because if not then it most likely isn't rear window [:

but go to movies.com and look up alfred Hitcock. you should find it there.

sorry if this didn't help!
