Rear Window

Rear window was the American suspense crime film we watched made in 1954, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The main character, a profesional photographer, Jeff Jefferies (James Stewart) breaks his leg photographing a racetrack, and becomes confined to his Greenwich Village apartment in a wheelchair. His rear window looks out onto a small courtyard and several other apartments, and with nothing else to do he finds himself passing time by watching his neighbours, first with binoculars, later with his camera.
While keeping watch on his neighbours Jeff Jefferies thinks he witnesses a murder, and takes it into his own hand to find more out. With him being restrict to a wheelchair, unable to actually investigate anything for himself, he informs several people of his suspicions. His home-nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter) his girlfriend Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly) and close friend, New York City police detective, Tom Doyle (Wendell Corey)
The way the film is done is quite incredible, all being shot from inside Jeff's apartment, from his point of view and along with witnessing a murder he also looks upon suicide, broken dream and cheap death. I enjoyed this film, although it wasn't my usual choice to watch. I felt it took awhile to get into the plot, but once it got going it was an interesting film.
