Rear Window Movie Spoiler

The weather is getting hotter, and photographer L.B. Jefferies (Jimmy Stewart) is trapped inside his apartment building with a busted leg and nothing to do–that is, nothing to carry out but spy on his neighbors through their exposed windows across the way inside the apartment building compound. There’s an beautiful and scantily clad performer, a songwriter, a lonely woman, and the Thorwalds (Raymond Burr and Irene Winston), a squabbling pair, amongst others.

But after Mrs. Thorwald disappears, Jefferies is certain that something’s immoral. Soon, despite the warnings of his girlfriend, Lisa (Grace Kelly), and his motherly nurse, Stella (Thelma Ritter), Jefferies has out his binoculars and telephoto lens and is studying his fellow citizen “like a bug under glass.” However, looking inside from the outside might not exist as safe what Jefferies assumes.

REAR WINDOW is not just a mesmerizing story of murder and suspense, it is a celebrated metaphor on the nature of film itself, a story during which the audience watches Jefferies watch the story unfold. The various windows symbolize the various distinctive stories that are often told on film and furthermore can remain seen like representing the entrance of television, because Jefferies can watch a multitude of “shows” from the comfort of his own apartment building.

The spouse inside the other window really did murder his wife.
