Hitchcock classic Rear Window is one of the director’s best. Jimmy Stewart stars as L. B. “Jeff” Jefferies, a wheelchair-bound photographer who entertains himself by watching his Greenwich Village neighbors through his window. When he sees what he thinks is a murder, he becomes even more obsessed with the day-to-day lives of those living in his apartment complex. And while it can be a lonely existence for Jeff, he’s got good company in the form of Grace Kelly, who plays his glamorous girlfriend Lisa.
