The Bedroom Window is a 1987 American neo-noir psychological thriller film written and directed by Curtis Hanson, and based on the novel The Witnesses by Anne Holden. It stars Steve Guttenberg, Elizabeth McGovern and Isabelle Huppert.
The Bedroom Window, is about Terry (Guttenberg) who is having an affair with his boss's wife, Sylvia (Huppert), leads to a dangerous web of lies and murder. Sylvia witnesses an attack on a woman from Terry's apartment window, but to protect her, Terry falsely claims he saw it himself which then escalates into nightmare.
The production began with Hanson's desire to create a film similar to his earlier thriller The Silent Partner (1978). Hanson adapted the novel The Witnesses, acquiring the rights from Paramount, and made significant changes, including adding the character of Denise. Elizabeth McGovern was Hanson’s first choice for Denise, seeing her as a perfect fit to shift from victim to aggressor. Isabelle Huppert was cast as Sylvia, bringing a sophisticated, glamorous contrast to Denise. Guttenberg, suggested by producer Dino De Laurentiis, was chosen for the lead role after demonstrating enthusiasm for the part, despite not being Hanson's initial pick. Filming took place in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood and at DEG Studios in Wilmington, North Carolina, blending atmospheric locations with studio work.
The film garnered a mix of reactions, with many critics highlighting its strong performances and solid story, though some felt it relied too heavily on familiar tropes. The Bedroom Window grossed $12.6 million at the box office and spent its first three weeks in the Top 10.
