Rear Window -- Honored by the AFI, Rear Window tells the gripping story of a photographer (James Stewart) who suspects his neighbor of murder and enlists his girlfriend (Grace Kelly) to help investigate.

Reporter Ann Mitchell prints a fake letter from a man who threatens suicide to protest social ills. The letter startsets a social movement, and she hires out-of-work actor John Willoughby to take on the role of “John Doe”.

None of Hitchcock's films has ever given a clearer view of his genius for suspense than Rear Window. When professional photographer L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries (James Stewart) is confined to a wheelchair with a broken leg, he becomes obsessed with watching the private dramas of his neighbors play out across the courtyard. When he suspects a salesman may have murdered his nagging wife, Jeffries enlists the help of his glamorous socialite girlfriend (Grace Kelly) to investigate the highly suspicious chain of events… Events that ultimately lead to one of the most memorable and gripping endings in all of film history.

A quadriplegic confined to his apartment passes the long hours by spying on his neighbors - but his innocent pastime takes a deadly turn when he thinks he witnesses a murder. Remake of the Hitchcock classic.
