The hero in the Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock is stuck in a wheelchair and, within his point of view, we are caught within his lack of freedom and his limited possibilities. We share his fascination when he spends his long days and nights holding a secret look shamelessly on his neighbors. We know, spying on others is mistaken, but are we not always visionaries, after all, as we walk to the movies? Here’s a film about a man doing what we do with the audience on the screen – seeing through a lens in strangers’ own privacy.
The man is L.B. Jeffries—”Jeff” to his fiance—the well-known photographer. James Stewart is played as an action man who was laid to his hip, with a rotten leg and a thick cast. He never goes away and only has two guests regularly. One is Stella (Thelma Ritter), his visitation nurse, who anticipates problems (“the New York State sentence for a Peeping Tom is six months in the workhouse”). The other is his fiancée, Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly), an aristocratic clothing designer who is anxious that he will always be committed. Instead of living within his skin, he would look at others’ lives and lectures Stella. You must try to play this Rear Window quiz.
Rear Window quiz
Few films have shown their tactics so courageously in the plain. Jeff sits in his wheelchair holding a telephoto camera and looks like a movie camera here and there first. What he’s looking at, we’re looking at. We illustrate the findings without words since the graphics add up to a mounting suspicion.
One night a woman is shouting at Jeff, and he notices that Thorwald takes his sample case in and out of the apartment, and goes on repeated visits at midnight. ‘We call that suspect all around these parts. Has Thorwald killed the missus? Jeff begins to spy on the guy, gets obsessive right now, and pulls both his nurse, Stella, and his fiancée Lisa into his plans.
Jeff phones his cop Doyle to investigate. Doyle, his policeman buddy. Doyle’s “proof” is not impressed and Jeff’s amateur stutter is not acceptable. But details continue to pile up, which Jeff cannot ignore. After digging in a flowerbed, a neighboring dog is found murdered and only Thorwald does not appear surprised by this. Jeff and Lisa send a note accusing Thorwald of murder so that he will be able to witness his reaction.
Thorwald is called to inform Jeff he’ll go to the cops if he doesn’t meet him in a nearby bar and the trick works so well. When Thorwald leaves, Lisa goes to his flat and begins seeking proof. She finds the wedding band of his wife, but Thorwald’s return interrupts her. When the police arrived, Jeff summoned us for the nick of time to Gruesome Murder 2.0. But she walks her finger at Jeff before she left, to let him know she has the ring. Lisa is free to drive downtown to get into.
About the quiz
In the evening, Jeff awakens up to a thunderstorm around 2 a.m. He sees the salesperson who lives in the building opposite his apartment in a box and returns one hour later. Oddly enough, the seller leaves again with his case. Jeff falls asleep. Jeff falls asleep. He watches the salesman come back for a second time as Jeff wakes up. Meanwhile, the wife of the salesman, formerly homebound, is not at her apartment any longer. The next day, Jeff watches the salesman wrap in the newspaper a little saw and a butcher’s knife.
But Lisa feels that the thoughts of Jeff are elsewhere. By presenting his suspicion that the salesman killed his wife and hacked off her body, he shows her right. Lisa’s fixation with monitoring and threatening to leave his neighbor upset Jeff. Then she calms when the seller wraps a large brown chest with hefty ropes. She’s not so repulsive, Lisa suddenly; she’s asking Jeff to tell him all she saw. Later Lisa snoops and learns that Lars Thorwald is the salesman’s name (Raymond Burr).
Doyle (Wendell Corey) relies on his pal to report “neighborhood assassinations.” Meanwhile, Jeff and Stella are keeping watch over the apartment of Mr. Thorwald, while 2 uniformed consignors carry out the trunk. Det. Doyle comes to a far-reaching conclusion and is instantly distrustful of Jeff. Doyle agrees, though, to find out where Mrs. Thorwald is. When Doyle leaves, Jeff discovers a tiny dog excavating the flowers placed in the courtyard by Mr. Thorwald the day before.
