Rear Window
It only takes one witness to spoil the perfect crime.
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Produced by Alfred J. Hitchcock Productions
A masterfully constructed psychological thriller that transforms voyeurism and confinement into a nail-biting whodunit about suspicion, obsession, and the unreliability of perception.
A wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbors from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder.
