With the exception of a single shot, the entirety of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) is filmed from the apartment window of L.B. Jeffries (Jimmy Stewart). By this point in the film, Jeffries is convinced that he has witnessed a murder across the courtyard and is looking for clues within the hubbub of everyday life.
