		Ritter's characterization of Birdie is a marvel of efficiency and clarity.
		But for Ritter's nomination, I've always wondered if it was enough since she is pretty "wait she was there where did she go" due to the size of the rest of the picture.
		Ritter puts her indelible mark on the film in her few brief appearances, lending credence to the "there are no small parts" argument.

		If ever there were a holy icon for actressing at the edges, Thelma Ritter would likely have been so canonized.
		Indeed, so ubiquitous is Ritter as a Supporting Actress nominee that Lulu sometimes forgets she's one of Oscar's biggest losers.
		So, among actresses at the edges, Thelma Ritter's sacrifice and martyrdom at the hands of Oscar do certainly qualify her for a curious kind of Supporting Actress sainthood.

		The rest of the cast is just as superb, especially Thelma Ritter, one of Hollywood's great character actors.

		While Hitchcock fans and movie buffs in general often argue as to which is the best of the director's many films, few disagree that 'Rear Window' is, at least, in the top three.
		He's visited regularly by day-care nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter), a witty, down-to-earth philosopher type (no one in movie history was better at these roles than Ritter) who amuses Jeff with her directness, honesty and sharp tongue.

	Rear Window film review
		Jeffries at first has trouble convincing his two sharp daily visitors--his irresistible fashion model girlfriend Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly) and no-nonsense "insurance company nurse" Stella (Thelma Ritter)--that a crime has occurred, or that he has any right or ability to know others' private affairs.
		But suspicious events continue, and all are drawn into the web of intrigue.
		Although health care per se is a relatively minor part of the film, Thelma Ritter does a good job playing a quick-witted nurse with wisdom, skills and guts.

		Stella (Thelma Ritter), who is the plain talking insurance nurse who comes to take care of him, warned him about looking at the neighbors so much.
		Thelma Ritter, a wonderful character actress, gives a great supporting performance as the visiting insurance nurse with plenty of opinions on not only man-woman relationships, but proves to be a good collaborator with Jeffries and Lisa on the task on hand - bringing a murderer to justice.
		Wendell Corey, an actor known for his "cynical delivery of tart dialogue," doesn't disappoint here as Lieutenant Thomas Doyle, an old war buddy who Jeffries calls onto do some unofficial investigating, and concludes that Jeffries is wrong in his deductions.
