Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window is a classic example of the master of suspense's ability to create tension and suspense in a limited setting. The film tells the story of L.B. "Jeff" Jefferies (James Stewart),a wheelchair-bound photographer who witnesses a murder in the apartment building across the courtyard from his own. Unable to leave his apartment, Jeff becomes a voyeur, observing his neighbors' lives and piecing together the puzzle of the murder.
