Rear Window Quiz – Hitchcock's Courtyard of Neighbors

Rear Window, directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1954, stars James Stewart as L.B. Jefferies, a photographer stuck in a wheelchair with a broken leg. Bored, he watches his neighbors across a Greenwich Village courtyard.

He sees Miss Lonelyhearts, the dancer Miss Torso, a songwriter and others, and comes to suspect that Lars Thorwald has murdered his wife. Grace Kelly's Lisa and nurse Stella, played by Thelma Ritter, help him investigate.

The whole courtyard was a giant set built on a Paramount soundstage. The story came from Cornell Woolrich's It Had to Be Murder, and Hitchcock appears winding a clock in the songwriter's apartment.
