Rear Window movie

A wheelchair bound photographer spies on his neighbours from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder.

It stars James Stewart as photojournalist "L.B. Jefferies", Grace Kelly as his fashion model girlfriend "Lisa Carol Fremont", and Raymond Burr as the suspected killer "Lars Thorwald".

The film combines its main theme of a murder mystery, with a critical examination of the ethics of marriage and voyeurism. "Jeff" Jefferies (James Stewart) is a professional photographer who has been confined to his Greenwich Village apartment after an accident has left him with his leg in a cast.Suffering from boredom, he takes to spying on his neighbors through the rear window. His view of the back of several apartment buildings, their inner courtyard, and the persons dwelling within at first have a strongly Norman Rockwell feel about them. Over time, however, Jeff comes to believe that a murder has taken place in the building across the courtyard, though his friends, his nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter), and his girlfriend, Lisa Carol Fremont (Grace Kelly) initially think his beliefs are imagined due to his idle behavior.Almost the entire movie is filmed from inside Jeffs bedroom, and most of the point of view (POV) shots are Jeffs. However, at key points in the movie this rule is broken (usually as a dual or triple POV shot, but also the single POV shots of Doyle, Stella, and Lisa).Furthermore, there is at least one moment when the viewer sees something while Jeff is asleep, and in two key sequences, characters are seen from angles not possible from Jeffs window.
