Rear window (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954; USA, 112’, col.)

Photo-reporter "Jeff" Jefferis is forced due to an injured leg to long periods of inactivity, which he spends inside his apartment. The monotony of his life as a recluse is mitigated by the curiosity with which he watches other people’s lives through his back window onto the courtyard. His attention is soon captured by Lars Thorwald, a man dealing with a sick wife, who vanishes mysteriously after a few days. Jeff suspects a crime and begins to investigate, aided by his fiancée Lisa.

With James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Raymond Burr.
