I don't know how the movie impacted the theaters in 1960, what I do know is that from 2023 perspective, it starts excessively slow mostly due inconsequential dialogues that are supposed to be a critique of that time's society and that fail to help the viewer know the characters as it should.
The build-up of the suspence is good, once the problem above is duely adressed, but the conclusion is lack luster specially from nowadays perspective. The murderous neighbor creeps into the photographer's home, shrouded in darkness and malignancy. That's where the credits should had rolled and it would have been impecable, but instead we get few extra scenes that leave Rear Window with a bland happy ending.
