...another problem is attracting an audience large enough or dedicated enough to sustain Rear Window's off-the-wall programming. Kleiler attributes the difficulty in attracting a college audience to the lower attention span of our generation. "College kids have no interest in the past, in movies more than two years old.

Despite its casual tradition, Kleiler expressed interest in bringing the Rear Window to a more permanent home, on one screen in a multi-screen complex for example. However, the large rental fees asked by larger houses to utilize their equipment (as much as $400 per night) make such plans unfeasible at the moment.

Unfortunately, Dewitt's depth perception was not as good as it had been and he ended up running into a treacherous fire hydrant and crashing through a plate glass window. The window belonged to a movie theater and, in order to avoid paying reparations, Dewitt quickly mingled among a crowd of film seekers, attentively viewing The Color Of Money (Beacon Hill). Dewitt had seen this movie before and at second look decided he didn't like it. The Color Of Money...
