I remember watching "Rear Window" when it was re-released after Hitchcock's death (so not many people in the cinema audience had ever seen it).
No one seemed to mind when Mr Thorwald bumped off his wife. All good fun. However, when he murdered the dog...everyone in the cinema seemed to turn. There actually was a collective gasp in the cinema. I went six times (I may be a bit of a Hitchcock fan...) and the reaction was the same each time. Some people cried when the dog died.
Edited to add: Ooops, sorry...spoilers?
